"inode leak in rd.c" is correct description, what's wrong is that pre5 is the one introducing the leak, and there was nothing to fix there. The inode of the initrd must be released with iput because it's a virtual inode, so if we don't iput it from there we'll lose all references to it.
There are instead a few initrd bugs that I corrected in the blkdev-pagecache patch while rewriting the ramdisk/initrd pagecache backed but I'm too lazy to extract them since they're quite low prio, I'll just wait for the blkdev in pagecache to be merged instead.
