[PATCH v3 3/3] fs: add linux_rootarg 'root=mmcblkXpN' support

Since commit fa2d0aa96941 ("mmc: core: Allow setting slot index via
device tree alias") the linux kernel supports stable mmc device names.
Barebox has stable names since years so now we can connect both which
allows us to pass 'root=mmcblkXpN' as argument for the cmdline. Note: it
is crucial that the kernel device tree and the barebox device tree uses
the same mmc aliases.

This patch adds the support to store the above cmdline as linux_rootarg
if enabled. The partuuid is now used as fallback since it is not as
unique as the mmcblkXpN scheme. It is added as build option since the
system integrator needs to check if the used kernel contains the above
commit.

v3:
- fix Kconfig spelling
- check if cdev has an master (cdev->master) before accessing it.

v2:
- improved Kconfig deps
- improved Kconfig help message
- minimal get_linux_mmcblkdev() simplifications
