[PATCH] blspec: fix crash when trying to boot from loop mounts

[PATCH] blspec: fix crash when trying to boot from loop mounts

[Philipp Zabel]

When trying to boot from a loop mount path, the blspec code passes a
NULL pointer to dev_name, because cdev->dev is not set for loop mounts:

Fix this by checking cdev->dev as well as cdev before calling dev_name.
