dm: clarify DM_FLAG_PROBE_AFTER_BIND behaviour

The DM_FLAG_PROBE_AFTER_BIND flag only makes sense on a per-device
basis, however recently added documentation as well as some confused
drivers imply that it might be added to a driver definition, this does
nothing.

Clarify the new documentation and expand on the comment by the
definition to point people in the right direction.

For some platforms, certain devices must be probed to get the platform into
a working state. To help with this, drivers marked with DM_FLAG_PROBE_AFTER_BIND
will be probed immediately after all devices are bound. For now, this happens in
a working state. To help with this, devices marked with DM_FLAG_PROBE_AFTER_BIND
will be probed immediately after all devices are bound. This flag must be set
on the device in its ``bind()`` function with
``dev_or_flags(dev, DM_FLAG_PROBE_AFTER_BIND)``. For now, this happens in
SPL, before relocation and after relocation. See the call to ``dm_autoprobe()``
for where this is done.
