Subject: [PATCH 2/5] initmpfs: Move bdi setup from init_rootfs to init_ramfs

From: Rob Landley <rob@...dley.net>

Even though ramfs hasn't got a backing device, commit e0bf68ddec4f added one
anyway, and put the initialization in init_rootfs() since that's the first
user, leaving it out of init_ramfs() to avoid duplication.

But initmpfs uses init_tmpfs() instead, so move the init into the filesystem's
init function, add a "once" guard to prevent duplicate initialization, and
call the filesystem init from rootfs init.

This goes part of the way to allowing ramfs to be built as a module.
