Its reported that mptsas can at times take over 30 seconds
to recognize SCSI storage devices [0], this is done on the
driver's probe path. Use the the new asynch probe to
circumvent systemd from killing this driver.

Again, *ANY* SCSI storage controller may.  The fact that a specific
bug report was filed on mptsas doesn't really mean anything.

Thanks.
