dm: blk: Rename get_device() to blk_get_device_by_str()

The current name is too generic. The function returns a block device based
on a provided string. Rename it to aid searching and make its purpose
clearer. Also add a few comments.

+ * numbering for block devices, so the interface name must be provided.
+ *
+ * The hardware parition is not related to the normal software partitioning
+ * of a device - each hardware partition is effectively a separately

+ * other hardware partitions become inaccessible. The same block device is
+ * used to access all hardware partitions, but its capacity may change when a
+ * different hardware partition is selected.
+ *
+ * When a hardware partition number is given, the block device switches to
+ * that hardware partition.
+ *
+ * @ifname:	Interface name (e.g. "ide", "scsi")
+ * @dev_str:	Device and optional hw partition. This can either be a string
+ *		containing the device number (e.g. "2") or the device number
+ *		and hardware partition number (e.g. "2.4") for devices that
+ *		support it (currently only MMC).
+ * @dev_desc:	Returns a pointer to the block device on success
+ * @return block device number (local to the interface), or -1 on error
