I am using the dm-mod.create kernel command line parameter to create a verity 
device at boot.  Both the data device and hash device are partitions on an eMMC 
device.  Seemingly at random, the verity device fails to be created at boot 
because dm_init_init() (and wait_for_device_probe()) returned before the 
partitions had been scanned:

mmc1: new high speed MMC card at address 0001
device-mapper: table: 253:0: verity: Data device lookup failed
device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
mmcblk1: mmc1:0001 064G30 58.2 GiB
mmcblk1boot0: mmc1:0001 064G30 partition 1 4.00 MiB
mmcblk1boot1: mmc1:0001 064G30 partition 2 4.00 MiB
mmcblk1rpmb: mmc1:0001 064G30 partition 3 4.00 MiB, chardev (247:0)
 mmcblk1: p1 p2 p3 p4 p5 p6 p7

I don't see how wait_for_device_probe() knows when partition scanning has been 
completed.  Is this a race or am I missing something?
