Linux Archive - Wait for udevsettle after $BOOT-top scripts ran

udev may be busy creating links for the root device by the time
mountroot is called. udevsettle makes sure these are processed. I thus
call udevsettle with a timeout of 10 seconds after the $BOOT-top
scripts have run and before the ROOTDELAY hack kicks in.

I thought about doing this with a local-top script instead, but there is
no way to ensure that it'll run last; cryptsetup uses a hack to make
sure it runs last, if we also use the same hack, there'll be
a dependency loop.
