[LEDE-DEV] [PATCH/RFC] base-files: remove dead code

[Daniel Golle]

/etc/init.d/boot tried to create /dev/root based on the kernel's
cmdline which won't work on any recent targets. Remove that code now
that fstools can detect the mounted rootfs based on
/proc/self/mountinfo and /dev/root was long gone anyway.
