Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] initramfs: fix CPIO hardlink check

Copy the filenames of hardlinks when inserting them into the hash, since
the "name" pointer may point to scratch space (name_buf).  Not doing so
results in corruption if the scratch space is later overwritten: the wrong
file may be hardlinked, or, if the scratch space contains garbage, the link
will fail and a 0-byte file will be created instead.
