early_lookup_bdev is supposed to only be called from the early boot code, but mdtblock_early_get_bdev is called as a general fallback when lookup_bdev fails, which is problematic because early_lookup_bdev bypasses all normal path based permission checking, and might cause problems with certain container environments renaming devices. Switch to only call early_lookup_bdev when block2mtd is built-in and the system state in not running yet. Note that this strictly speaking changes the kernel ABI as the PARTUUID= and PARTLABEL= style syntax is now not available during a running systems. They never were intended for that, but this breaks things we'll have to figure out a way to make them available again. But if avoidable in any way I'd rather avoid that.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
