[10/24] init: handle ubi/mtd root mounting like all other root types

Commit Message

Christoph Hellwig May 23, 2023, 7:45 a.m. UTC

Assign a Root_Generic magic value for UBI/MTD root and handle the root
mounting in mount_root like all other root types.  Besides making the
code more clear this also means that UBI/MTD root can be used together
with an initrd (not that anyone should care).

Also factor parsing of the root name into a helper now that it can
be easily done and will get more complicated with subsequent patches.
