Fix /sys to /dev node name translation
linux/drivers/base/core.c: device_get_devnode() defines a translation of '!' in sysfs nodes to '/' in /dev nodes. The same translation has to be done to properly support device nodes with slash (e. g. device nodes of cciss driver and several other drivers). Introduce new helper sysfs_devname_to_devno() and use it where appropriate. Fixes for example lsblk -f on devices using cciss driver. Signed-off-by: Stanislav Brabec <sbrabec@suse.cz>
