init/do_mounts.c: add root=PARTLABEL=<name> support
Support referencing the root partition label from GPT as argument to the root= option on the kernel command line in analogy to referencing the partition uuid as root=PARTUUID=<uuid>. Specifying the partition label instead of the uuid is often much easier, e.g. in embedded environments when there is an A/B rootfs partition scheme for interruptible firmware updates (i.e. rootfsA/ rootfsB). The partition label can be queried with the blkid command.
