[PATCH v3 RFT 1/2] init/do_mounts.c: ignore final \n in name_to_dev_t

[sebastian.capella@linaro.org (Sebastian Capella)]

Enhance name_to_dev_t to handle trailing newline characters
on device paths.  Some inputs to name_to_dev_t may come from
userspace where oftentimes a '\n' is appended to the path.
Added const to the name buffer in both the function
declaration and the prototype to reflect input buffer
handling.

By handling trailing newlines in name_to_dev_t, userspace
buffers may be directly passed to name_to_dev_t without
modification.
