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.

+ * blk_get_device_by_str() - Get a block device given its interface/hw partition
+ *
+ * Each interface allocates its own devices and typically struct blk_desc is
+ * contained with the interface's data structure. There is no global
+ * 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
+ * accessible block device. When a hardware parition is selected on MMC the
+ * 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
