Revert "init: make rootdelay=N consistent with rootwait behaviour"
This reverts commit 4dfe694f. In that, we did: Here we move the rootdelay code to be right beside the rootwait code, so that their behaviour is consistent. ...which is fine, but in hindsight, perhaps moving the rootwait to be beside the rootdelay would have been better. We also indicated: It should be noted that in doing so, the actions based on the saved_root_name[0] and initrd_load() were previously put on hold by rootdelay=N and now currently will not be delayed. However, I think consistent behaviour is more important than matching historical behaviour of delaying the above two operations. But Pavel reported an instance where an ARM target with root on MMC was failing to mount root, and Russell diagnosed it to the fact that the call to set ROOT_DEV within the saved_root_name[0] processing block mentioned above was no longer being delayed. Rather than moving both wait clauses to the original position of rootdelay and risking unearthing other possible corner case breakage at this point in time, we simply revert now and we can revisit trying the alternate/earlier location in another development cycle.
