Subject: um: Fix to call read_initrd after init_bootmem
From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 5b4236e17cc1bd9fa14b2b0c7a4ae632d41f2e20 upstream.
Since read_initrd() invokes alloc_bootmem() for allocating
memory to load initrd image, it must be called after init_bootmem.
This makes read_initrd() called directly from setup_arch()
after init_bootmem() and mem_total_pages().
Fixes: b63236972e1 ("um: Setup physical memory in setup_arch()")
