Joachim Wiberg eb913e8bf2 initramfs: fix Coverity defects
Check return value of remove() in delete_cb() and log failures via
dbg(), CID 909395

Replace stat() calls with open(O_DIRECTORY)+ fstat() for newroot and "/"
checks.  Eliminates the check-then-use race and lets O_DIRECTORY do the
isdir validation atomically, CID 909394

Drop the explicit close(0/1/2) before opening /dev/console.  dup2()
closes the old targets itself, so open() returns a fd > STDERR_FILENO
that can always be closed unconditionally, removing the conditional
guard, CID 909393

Finit can run on various Linux distributions, but the bundled install scripts are examples only. They have been tested on amd64 (x86_64) systems with standard configurations.

For embedded systems, see these Buildroot-based examples: myLinux, Infix, or br2-finit-demo.
