The patch titled
     Subject: initramfs: finish fput() before accessing any binary from initramfs

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Lokesh Vutla <lokeshvutla@xxxxxx>
Subject: initramfs: finish fput() before accessing any binary from initramfs

commit 4a9d4b024a31 ("switch fput to task_work_add") implements a
schedule_work() for completing fput(), but did not guarantee calling
__fput() after unpacking initramfs. Because of this, there is a
possibility that during boot a driver can see ETXTBSY when it tries
to load a binary from initramfs as fput() is still pending on that
binary. This patch makes sure that fput() is completed after unpacking
initramfs and removes the call to flush_delayed_fput() in kernel_init()
which happens very late after unpacking initramfs.
