init: early_mount: create device node for verity metadata partition

Most devices pass the veritymode through 'androidboot.veritymode' kernel
cmdline partition. However, for those who don't, the verity state is
read from a different block device whose path it passed to "verify="
fs_mgr option in fstab.

This change add support for such a case if the partition that needs to
be mounted early requires this additional block device to load the
verity state from.

Note that, there can only be 1 partition to get the verity state
regardless of the number of partitions we enable verity for.

Bug: 27805372

Test: Test angler by removing the metdata argument in fstab when it
boots fine. Tested by adding the argument when it fails to boot as
veritymode gets set to EIO during early mount due to lack of access to
properties as expected.

TODO: fs_mgr must pull the veritymode from kernel cmdline or device tree
by itself
