While debugging a kernel panic with 3.14.1 it became clear that some changes made some filesystems mount routines return error codes other than 0, EACCES and EINVAL. Such return codes result in the kernel panicking without trying to mount root with all of the available filesystems, as can be seen in bugzilla entries 74901 and 74261.
Make mount_block_root continue trying other available filesystems by default, not only when the last tried returned EACCES or EINVAL.
