rootfs: Fix support for rootfstype= when root= is given
Documentation/filesystems/ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.rst states:
If CONFIG_TMPFS is enabled, rootfs will use tmpfs instead of ramfs by
default. To force ramfs, add "rootfstype=ramfs" to the kernel command
line.
This currently does not work when root= is provided since then
saved_root_name contains a string and rootfstype= is ignored. Therefore,
ramfs is currently always chosen when root= is provided.
The current behavior for rootfs's filesystem is:
root= | rootfstype= | chosen rootfs filesystem
------------+-------------+--------------------------
unspecified | unspecified | tmpfs
unspecified | tmpfs | tmpfs
unspecified | ramfs | ramfs
provided | ignored | ramfs
rootfstype= should be respected regardless whether root= is given,
as shown below:
root= | rootfstype= | chosen rootfs filesystem
------------+-------------+--------------------------
unspecified | unspecified | tmpfs (as before)
unspecified | tmpfs | tmpfs (as before)
unspecified | ramfs | ramfs (as before)
provided | unspecified | ramfs (compatibility with before)
provided | tmpfs | tmpfs (new)
provided | ramfs | ramfs (new)
This table represents the new behavior.
