[PATCH] Wire up CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT to initramfs.

[Rob Landley]

From: Rob Landley <rob@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The kernel has had CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT for years, but it only applied to
fallback ROOT= not initramfs/initmpfs. As long as the config option exists, it
might as well work.

I use this for board bringup: populating a chdir and calling cpio as a normal
user often leaves /dev empty (because mknod requires root access), meaning no
/dev/console for init/main.c to open, meaning init runs without
stdin/stdout/stderr and has to mount devtmpfs and redirect the filehandles blind
with no error output if something goes wrong.
