commit 809b1e4945774c9ec5619a8f4e2189b7b3833c0c upstream.
This reverts commit 644bda6f3460 ("dm table: fall back to getting device using name_to_dev_t()")
dm_get_dev_t() is just used to convert an arbitrary 'path' string into a dev_t. It doesn't presume that the device is present; that check will be done later, as the only caller is dm_get_device(), which does a dm_get_table_device() later on, which will properly open the device.
So if the path string already _is_ in major:minor representation we can convert it directly, avoiding a recursion into the filesystem to lookup the block device.
This avoids a hang in multipath_message() when the filesystem is inaccessible.
