efivar: support device paths as well as mounted paths in path_to_dp

[imp]

Summary

In path_to_dp, allow passing in either the actual device path "eg
/dev/foo/bar" or the path where the device is mounted (say
/mnt/baz/bing). In the former case we'll assume the path within the
device is nothing (the relpath). In the latter, we'll take from the
mount point on down as the relpath.

Is the purpose of this change to accept either a "/dev/foo/bar" or a "foo/bar"? Also, in your commit message could you check the word choice in "know the path passed in" ?

Not quite. The purpose of the change is to allow either /dev/foo/bar or /mnt/baz to be passed in.

I'll update the proposed commit message to see if my second attempt is any clearer.
