Commit 283e7ad02 ("init: stricter checking of major:minor root=
values") was so strict that it exposed the fact that a previously
unknown device format was being used.

Distributions like Ubuntu uses klibc (rather than uswsusp) to resume
system from hibernation.  klibc expressed the swap partition/file in
the form of major:minor:offset.  For example, 8:3:0 represents a swap
partition in klibc, and klibc's resume process in initrd will finally
echo 8:3:0 to /sys/power/resume for manually resuming.  However, due
to commit 283e7ad02's stricter checking, 8:3:0 will be treated as an
invalid device format, and manual resuming from hibernation will fail.

Fix this by adding support for devices with major:minor:offset format
when resuming from hibernation.
