init: improve the name_to_dev_t interface

name_to_dev_t has a very misleading name, that doesn't make clear
it should only be used by the early init code, and also has a bad
calling convention that doesn't allow returning different kinds of
errors.  Rename it to early_lookup_bdev to make the use case clear,
and return an errno, where -EINVAL means the string could not be
parsed, and -ENODEV means it the string was valid, but there was
no device found for it.

Also stub out the whole call for !CONFIG_BLOCK as all the non-block
root cases are always covered in the caller.
