[PATCH] name_to_dev_t() fix

From: viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk

When we register disks, we mangle the disk names that contain slashes (e.g.
cciss/c0d0) replacing them with '!' in corresponding sysfs names.  So
name_to_dev_t() should mangle the name in the same way before looking for it
in /sys/block.
