[PATCH 1/2] fs/super.c: introduce get_tree_bdev_by_dev()

[Gao Xiang <hsiangkao@linux.alibaba.com>]

As Allison reported [1], currently get_tree_bdev() will store
"Can't lookup blockdev" error message.  Although it makes sense for
pure bdev-based fses, this message may mislead users who try to use
EROFS file-backed mounts since get_tree_nodev() is used as a fallback
then.

Add get_tree_bdev_by_dev() to specify a device number explicitly
instead of the hardcoded fc->source as mentioned in [2], there are
other benefits like:
  - Filesystems can have other ways to get a bdev-based sb
    in addition to the current hard-coded source path;

  - Pseudo-filesystems can utilize this method to generate a
    filesystem from given device numbers too.

  - Like get_tree_nodev(), it doesn't strictly tie to fc->source
    either.
