[Bug 1034734] [NEW] flash-kernel shouldn't prompt the user when updating initramfs in case there's no valid /etc/fstab

Flash-kernel initramfs-tools hook, initramfs-
tools/hooks/flash_kernel_set_root, doesn't know how to handle the use
case where there's no valid rootfs device at /etc/fstab.

This was noticed when using linaro-media-create, as the fstab is only
available at the last step of the rootfs setup, prompting the message to
the user and blocking until control+d or enter is entered by the user.

This can also happen in case the user installs a valid kernel package +
flash-kernel in a chroot.

Flash-kernel should just warn the user and move on, and just block in
case there's a valid rootfs at /etc/fstab and the device can't be found.
