If initrd_start cpio extraction fails, CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM triggers fallback to initrd.image handling via populate_initrd_image(). The populate_initrd_image() call follows successful extraction of any built-in cpio archive at __initramfs_start, but currently performs built-in archive extraction a second time. Prior to commit b2a74d5f9d446 ("initramfs: remove clean_rootfs"), the second built-in initramfs unpack call was used to repopulate entries removed by clean_rootfs(), but it's no longer necessary now the contents of the previous extraction are retained.
