Instead of declaring root_device_name as a global variable pass it as an
argument to the functions using it.

This patch results in the following build error when trying to build
xtensa:tinyconfig.

WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: strcpy.isra.0+0x14 (section: .text.unlikely) -> initcall_level_names (section: .init.data)
ERROR: modpost: Section mismatches detected.

I can reproduce these with gcc 13.1 on xtensa, but the report makes
no sense to me.  If I disable CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE it now reports
a similar warning for put_page intead of strcpy which seems just as
arcance.


I don't see that (I tried 11.3, 11.4, 12.3, and 13.1), but then I am not sure
if this is worth tracking down. I just force CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH_WARN_ONLY=y
for xtensa builds instead.
