Peter Korsgaard 035641b01e dm init: add dm-mod.waitfor to wait for asynchronously probed block devices
Just calling wait_for_device_probe() is not enough to ensure that
asynchronously probed block devices are available (E.G. mmc, usb), so
add a "dm-mod.waitfor=<device1>[,..,<deviceN>]" parameter to get
dm-init to explicitly wait for specific block devices before
initializing the tables with logic similar to the rootwait logic that
was introduced with commit  cc1ed7542c ("init: wait for
asynchronously scanned block devices").

E.G. with dm-verity on mmc using:
dm-mod.waitfor="PARTLABEL=hash-a,PARTLABEL=root-a"
