Luka Perkov 5d4bbb5f5b kirkwood: find active Linksys root partition
This is imported verbatim from the mvebu WRT1900AC port.

It picks up the current boot partition from the kernel command line,
then renames that partition "ubi" so that it auto-mounts.

The WRT1900AC among other Linksys routers uses a dual-firmware layout.
Dynamically rename the active partition to "ubi".
