[PATCHv2 2/2] drivers/base: reorder consumer and its children behind suppliers

commit 52cdbdd49853 ("driver core: correct device's shutdown order")
introduces supplier<-consumer order in devices_kset. The commit tries
to cleverly maintain both parent<-child and supplier<-consumer order by
reordering a device when probing. This method makes things simple and
clean, but unfortunately, breaks parent<-child order in some case,
which is described in next patch in this series.
Here this patch tries to resolve supplier<-consumer by only reordering a
device when it has suppliers, and takes care of the following scenario:
    [consumer, children] [ ... potential ... ] supplier
                         ^                   ^
After moving the consumer and its children after the supplier, the
potentail section may contain consumers whose supplier is inside
children, and this poses the requirement to dry out all consumpers in
the section recursively.
