The device driver can be deferrable and can be a race during
the dm-init early. We need to wait all the probe are really finished
in a loop as is done in do_mounts. This is was tested on kernel 5.4
but code seems was not changed since that time

I'm cannot take this as proposed.
If you're going to do something like this, the retries need to be
bounded. And retry should only be possible for select cases
(e.g. "verity: Data device lookup failed", which is emitted due to
dm_get_device failure with a return -ENODEV).
So please narrow this as much as possible (by only allowing retry if
-ENODEV) and bound the retries to a finite amount.. 5? 10? 20? *shrug*
And please take care to use variable names that are more appropriate
("fail" is not one of them when you're writing retry code)
