    In the kernel command-line, previously, root=1:2jakshflaksjdhfa would
    be accepted and interpreted just like root=1:2. This patch adds
    stricter checking so that additional characters after major:minor are
    rejected by root=.
    
    The goal of this change is to help in unifying DM's interpretation of
    its block device argument by using existing kernel code (name_to_dev_t).
    But DM rejects malformed major:minor pairs, it seems reasonable for
    root= to reject them as well.
