[Suspend2][ 08/35] [Suspend2] Reopen the resume dev_t.

[Nigel Cunningham <nigel@suspend2.net>]

Having processed the resume2= setting once to get the dev_t it refers to,
we can just use the dev_t again afterwards. This routine reopens the bdev
at some later stage, getting afresh the inode and device info - something
might have been modified by the user since our last use, and it would be
wrong to keep the device open all the time anyway.
