Subject: [GIT PULL] Initramfs fix for 4.12-rc1

Hi Linus,

This is a fix for an issue that has caused 4.11 to not boot on OpenRISC. I
should have caught this during the 4.11 cycle but I had been busy on
testing some other series of patches.

I would have considered pushing it though a different path but Al Viro
suggested submitting directly to you.

Also, its just one as I havent really got anything else ready on my queue
for 4.12.

Fixes:
 o Ensure fput() flush is done even for builtin initramfs
