Subject: [PATCH] init: Fix for section mismatch in reference from name_to_dev_t().

This patch fixes the following message while compiling the kernel:

WARNING: init/mounts.o(.text+0x40): Section mismatch in reference from
the function name_to_dev_t() to the function
.init.text:devt_from_partuuid()
The function name_to_dev_t() references
the function __init devt_from_partuuid().
This is often because name_to_dev_t lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of devt_from_partuuid is wrong.
