build: syscalls: Add device-in-use?.
This new procedure uses BLKRRPART to determine whether or not a device is busy. It is useful when a device does not appear as mounted but is maybe used by the kernel. This is the case with overlayfs lowerdir backend device for example. * guix/build/syscalls.scm (device-in-use?): New exported procedure.
