driver core: Convert '/' to '!' in dev_set_name()
Commit 3ada8b7e ("block: struct device - replace bus_id with dev_name(),
dev_set_name()") deleted the code in register_disk() that changed a '/'
to a '!' in the device name when registering a disk, but dev_set_name()
does not perform this conversion.
This leads to amusing problems with disks that have '/' in their names:
for example a failure to boot with the root partition on a cciss device,
even though the kernel says it knows about the root device:
VFS: Cannot open root device "cciss/c0d0p6" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:
6800 71652960 cciss/c0d0 driver: cciss
6802 1 cciss/c0d0p2
6805 2931831 cciss/c0d0p5
6806 34354908 cciss/c0d0p6
6810 71652960 cciss/c0d1 driver: cciss
Fix this by adding code to change '/' to '!' in dev_set_name() to handle
this until dev_set_name() is converted to use kobject_set_name().
