Nikolaus Voss f027c34d84 init/do_mounts.c: add root=PARTLABEL=<name> support ...

Support referencing the root partition label from GPT as argument
to the root= option on the kernel command line in analogy to
referencing the partition uuid as root=PARTUUID=<uuid>.

Specifying the partition label instead of the uuid is often much
easier, e.g. in embedded environments when there is an
A/B rootfs partition scheme for interruptible firmware updates
(i.e. rootfsA/ rootfsB).

The partition label can be queried with the blkid command.
