[dm-devel] [PATCH] dm: add module parameter bdev_wait

[Mark-PK Tsai]

dm_early_create() fail if the target block device not found in
the late init stage.
The block device is created in mmc_rescan() which kernel do
it async by queue it into system_freezable_wq.
Add module param bdev_wait to support waiting the block device
ready before dm_early_create() like prepare_namespace() does.
