factory: Can not start if fixed storage is not readable

Project Member Reported by gwendal@chromium.org, Oct 20 2017

Issue description

Working on RMA'ed machine where the eMMC device is up but read commands fail, I can not start the factory image [6420.177.0]

The problem is in main() of src/platform/initramfs/recovery/init:
We try to find the root device in wait_for_gpt_root by calling cgpt find on all block devices. But if a block device fails to respond and hang the kernel we will never be able to continue.

Maybe add a 'removable device only' option to cgpt?

Assign to fshao@ as first-bug for new factory team members.

Note this is actually modifying C program, not usual factory software.
