Peter Oberparleiter 6dd671f24e zdev: Make initramfs root configuration more robust ...

zdev's initramfs hook does not add directives for enabling the root
device to the initrd if the root device is only configured in the
active configuration. As a result, a reboot using the new initrd fails
because the root device cannot be found.

This situation can occur for example when the zdev initramfs hook is
called from within an installer, where devices are only enabled in the
active configuration.

Address this situation by considering both the active and persistent
configuration of the root device during initramfs configuration. In case
the device is configured in both configurations, the persistent
configuration takes precedence.
