Public bug reported:
When I attempt to regenerate an initramfs for a new root filsystem,
update-initramfs is unable to identify the filesystem type of this
initramfs.
```
# update-initramfs -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.15.0-1059-kvm
W: Couldn't identify type of root file system for fsck hook
W: mkconf: MD subsystem is not loaded, thus I cannot scan for arrays.
W: mdadm: failed to auto-generate temporary mdadm.conf file.
```
the mounted filesystem:
```
# cat /proc/mounts | grep xfs
/dev/sda1 / xfs rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,logbufs=8,logbsize=32k,noquota 0 0
```
fstab:
```
# cat /etc/fstab | grep xfs
LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs / xfs defaults 0 1
```
cmdline:
```
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.15.0-1059-kvm
root=PARTUUID=575c9681-fb9d-457c-a3b5-407dda61a919 ro console=tty1
console=ttyS0 panic=-1
```
The failure is in hooks/fsck when it calls resolve_device(). The function
returns 1 and echos nothing because it has a LABEL, not a UUID or PARTUUID.
