Add an optional timeout arg to 'rootwait' as the maximum time in seconds to wait for the root device to show up before attempting forced mount of the root filesystem. Use case: In case of device mapper usage for the rootfs (e.g. root=/dev/dm-0), if the mapper is not able to create the virtual block for any reason (wrong arguments, bad dm-verity signature, etc), the `rootwait` param causes the kernel to wait forever. It may however be desirable to only wait for a given time and then panic (force mount) to cause device reset. This gives the bootloader a chance to detect the problem and to take some measures, such as marking the booted partition as bad (for A/B case) or entering a recovery mode. In success case, mounting happens as soon as the root device is ready, unlike the existing 'rootdelay' parameter which performs an unconditional pause.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
