[PATCH 21/24] PM: hibernate: don't use early_lookup_bdev in resume_store

resume_store is a sysfs attribute written during normal kernel runtime,
and it should not use the early_lookup_bdev API that bypasses all normal
path based permission checking, and might cause problems with certain
container environments renaming devices.

Switch to lookup_bdev, which does a normal path lookup instead, and fall
back to trying to parse a numeric dev_t just like early_lookup_bdev did.

Note that this strictly speaking changes the kernel ABI as the PARTUUID=
and PARTLABEL= style syntax is now not available during a running
systems.  They never were intended for that, but this breaks things
we'll have to figure out a way to make them available again.  But if
avoidable in any way I'd rather avoid that.
