[dm-devel] [PATCH v2 1/3] init: Export name_to_dev_t and mark it const

[Dan Ehrenberg]

name_to_dev_t is useful in other pieces of code to initialize rootfs.
In the case of dm, the code is sometimes built in a module and other
times used to construct the rootfs; therefore it must be exported
as a symbol.
