Subject[PATCH 4.19 47/63] initramfs: dont free a non-existent initrd
Date
From: Steven Price <steven.price@arm.com>

[ Upstream commit 5d59aa8f9ce972b472201aed86e904bb75879ff0 ]

Since commit 54c7a8916a88 ("initramfs: free initrd memory if opening
/initrd.image fails"), the kernel has unconditionally attempted to free
the initrd even if it doesn't exist.

In the non-existent case this causes a boot-time splat if
CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is enabled due to a call to virt_to_phys() with a
NULL address.

Instead we should check that the initrd actually exists and only attempt
to free it if it does.
