Checks for creator.rootdev (or cr.rootdev) being None were missing
and would cause the kernel command line to contain "root=None". When
using the Discoverable Partitions Specification, no root= parameter
should appear on the kernel command line, as root=None is not valid.
This fix mirrors the same change applied to the upstream wic plugins:

I would recommend to split the upstream changes from the isar-only bits,
first bumping our imported wic bits to a well-definied upstream
revision, then adding what is needed to our forks.
