Subject: [RFC V2] init: support device of major:minor:offset format

Distribution like Ubuntu uses klibc rather than uswsusp to resume
system from hibernation, which will treat swap partition/file in
the form of major:minor:offset. For example, 8:3:0 represents a
swap partition in klibc, and klibc's resume process in initrd will
finally echo 8:3:0 to /sys/power/resume for manually restoring.
However in current implementation, 8:3:0 will be treated as an invalid
device format, and it is found that manual resumming from hibernation
will fail on lastest kernel.

This patch adds support for device with major:minor:offset format
when resumming from hibernation.
