Subject: [PATCH 0/4] initramfs: remove sparse warnings

Hello,

This patchset removes most of sparse warnings in init/initramfs.c.
Current implementation of initramfs relies on syscall service rountins heavily
so it requires many of arguments to be __user address space pointers but, in
most cases, were missing proper markups. This patchset tries to fix those at
a minimum change.

Namhyung Kim (4):
  initramfs: refactor clean_path()
  initramfs: mark dirp as a __user pointer on clean_rootfs()
  initramfs: mark collect buffers as __user pointers
  initramfs: add missing __user markup
