Well, dm-N are private DM names and should not be used anywhere in
userspace. The official device name is /dev/mapper/<name> where the
<name> is exported by /sys/block/dm-<N>/dm/name. You need something
like:

 cn_device=$(cat /sys/block/${device##/dev/}/dm/name)

Do you know about findmnt(1)? It's smaller than stat(1) and provides
all necessary functionality ;-)

You should not expect that devno returned by stat(1) matches with
devno in /proc/self/mountinfo. For example btrfs uses some pseudo-devnos
(don't forget that btrfs is not strictly per-device filesystem):

  # ls -la /dev/sdb
  brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 16 Sep 17 10:24 /dev/sdb
                         ^^^^^

  # grep /dev/sdb /proc/self/mountinfo 
  56 21 0:44 / /mnt/test rw,relatime - btrfs /dev/sdb rw,ssd,nospace_cache
        ^^^^

It's probably better to use a canonical device name.

  # findmnt /dev/sdb 
  TARGET    SOURCE   FSTYPE OPTIONS
  /mnt/test /dev/sdb btrfs  rw,relatime,ssd,nospace_cache
