Subject: [4.12.0-rc0]: compile error in initramfs.c

In kernel 4.11.0-10502-g3ef2bc0 I get following compile error:

/kernel/linux/init/initramfs.c: In function 'populate_rootfs':
/kernel/linux/init/initramfs.c:644:2: error: label at end of compound statement
  done:

the compile error goes away if I revert
commit 17a9be31747535184f2af156b1f080ec4c92a952
"initramfs: Always do fput() and load modules after rootfs populate"


Thanks
Jörg
