[arch-projects] [mkinitcpio] init_functions: add check for 9p rootfs

Currently, having rootfs on a 9p filesystem causes an emergency shell
to pop up that must be closed before boot can continue.  This is
because we assume that the ``root`` parameter to the kernel will
always be a block device, which is not the case when the rootfs is on
a 9p filesystem.  Adding another check to make sure we're not a 9p
filesystem fixes this early emergency shell.
