[PATCH 09/16] initrd: remove the BLKFLSBUF call in handle_initrd

2020-06-15 Thread Christoph Hellwig
BLKFLSBUF used to be overloaded for the ramdisk driver to free the whole ramdisk, which was completely different behavior compared to all other drivers. But this magic overload got removed in commit ff26956875c2 ("brd: remove support for BLKFLSBUF"), so this call is entirely pointless now.
