[PATCH 17/19] init: factor out root device lookup into lookup_root_device()

DPS root detection will also need to work if root_wait is set, meaning
that wait_for_root() needs to handle the DPS logic.

Move early_lookup_bdev() out of wait_for_root() into the new
lookup_root_device() so later changes can extend the lookup policy
without duplicating the retry logic.
