dm: only call early_lookup_bdev from early boot context
early_lookup_bdev is supposed to only be called from the early boot code, but dm_get_device calls it as a general fallback when lookup_bdev fails, which is problematic because early_lookup_bdev bypasses all normal path based permission checking, and might cause problems with certain container environments renaming devices. Switch to only call early_lookup_bdev when dm is built-in and the system state in not running yet. This means it is still available when tables are constructed by dm-init.c from the kernel command line, but not otherwise. 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.
