Custom ROM bring-ups of legacy Sony devices contain the following:
/init (symlink to /bin/init_sony)
/init.real (the "real" Android init)
/bin/init_sony (this was /sbin/init_sony on Android <11)
Kernel loads the ramdisk and starts /init -> /bin/init_sony
/bin/init_sony does low-level device setup (see: https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_sony_common/blob/lineage-18.1/init/init_main.cpp)
/bin/init_sony unlinks /init and renames /init.real to /init
/bin/init_sony starts /init
Since init_sony needs to run first magiskinit needs to replace init.real instead, so add workarounds based on detection of init.real to boot patcher and uninstaller

Fix topjohnwu#4810
> [ 2.927463] [1: init: 1] magiskinit: Replace [/system/etc/selinux/plat_sepolicy.cil] -> [xxx]
[ 2.936801] [1: init: 1] magiskinit: write failed with 14: Bad address
Since topjohnwu#4596, magisk fails to patch `/init`, xwrite() fails with EFAULT, break the original `/init` file and make the device unbootable. Reverting this commit for legacy rootfs devices fixes the problem. I think this is a Samsung kernel magic since currently I can't reproduce this on other devices or find something special in the log currently we have.
On devices where the primary storage is slow to probe it makes sense to
wait forever for the system partition to mount, this emulates the
kernel's behaviour when waiting for rootfs on SAR if the rootwait
parameter is supplied.
This issue was encountered with some SD cards on the Nintendo Switch.
Previously, Magisk uses persist or cache for storing modules' custom
sepolicy rules. In this commit, we significantly broaden its
compatibility and also prevent mounting errors.
The persist partition is non-standard and also critical for Snapdragon
devices, so we prefer not to use it by default.
We will go through the following logic to find the best suitable
non-volatile, writable location to store and load sepolicy.rule files:
Unencrypted data -> FBE data unencrypted dir -> cache -> metadata -> persist
This should cover almost all possible cases: very old devices have
cache partitions; newer devices will use FBE; latest devices will use
metadata FBE (which guarantees a metadata parition); and finally,
all Snapdragon devices have the persist partition (as a last resort).
Fix#3179
This commit adds support for kernel initialized dm-verity on legacy SAR
devices.
Tested on a Pixel 2 XL with a kernel patch to initialize mappings
specified via the `dm=` kernel parameter even when an initramfs is used.
