Users can specify a device file of a partition for io.policy.
In this case, io_policy_node::dev_name is set as a name of the
partition device like /dev/sda2.

ex)
  # cd /mnt/cgroup
  # cat /dev/sda2:500:2 > io.policy
  # echo io.policy
    dev weight class
    /dev/sda2 500 2

I believe io_policy_node::dev_name should be set a generic
device name like /dev/sda.
What do you think about it?
