Until then erofs is exactly blockdev based filesystem. In other using
scenarios (e.g. container image), erofs needs to run upon files.
This patch set is going to introduces a new nodev mode, in which erofs
could be mounted from a bootstrap blob file containing complete erofs
image.
Add a helper checking which mode erofs works in.
