[RFC] driver core: Fix repeated device_is_dependent check for same link

[Abel Vesa]

In case of a cyclic dependency, if the supplier is not yet available,
the parent of the supplier is checked for dependency. But if there are
more than one suppliers with the same parent, the first check returns
true while the next checks skip that specific link entirely. So add a
flag that marks the link for future checks and bail early if it is
already marked with that flag.
