Subject[PATCH] cramfs: fix potential "unable to mount root fs" problem
Date
We may encounter panic problem without "rootfstype=" options in
bootargs. The logs are listed below.

[0.551962] RAMDISK: squashfs filesystem found at block 0
[0.551977] RAMDISK: Loading 18117KiB [1 disk] into ram disk...
[0.719465] done.
[0.748379] VFS: Cannot open root device "ram0" or unknown-block(1,0): error -92
[0.748390] Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:
[0.748408] 0100 65536 ram0
[0.748413] (driver?)
[0.748430] 0101 65536 ram1
[0.748434] (driver?)
[0.748450] 0102

[0.748470] 0103 65536 ram3

[0.748498] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0)

[0.847719] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x30

If we set CONFIG_CRAMFS_MTD and CONFIG_CRAMFS_BLOCKDEV to n,
CONFIG_CRAMFS to y, function cramfs_get_tree return -ENOPROTOOPT,
which breaks loops in function mount_block_root and we have no
chance to try other filesystem type. In my opinion, ENOPROTOOPT
is not an appropriate return value for cramfs mount function, so
change it to EINVAL.

Fixes: 99c18ce58 (cramfs: direct memory access support)
