mapfile: optionally store map file in /dev

During early boot, /var/run may not exist or be writable.
If that happens, sore the mapfile (which is very important for
incremental assembly) in /dev (which should exist for udev).

Thanks to Doug Ledford <dledford@redhat.com> for identify this
problem and suggesting a solution.
