The following patch was back-ported from 2.5.x by Stephen Smalley to fix a
problem where the file handle of the root of the initrd is inherited by init
and other processes.
The bug was discovered when running SE Linux on 2.4.20 systems with a policy
that denied such inheriting of file handles and logged the operations it
denied.
This patch has been well tested, please include it in 2.4.21.
