[ Upstream commit ec3f4e0443a61e68092ac07111f16dd4ca89ddb4 ]

initramfs_test_extract() and friends call unpack_to_rootfs() from a
kunit kthread while do_populate_rootfs() may still be running
asynchronously from rootfs_initcall. unpack_to_rootfs() keeps its
parser state in module-static variables (victim, byte_count, state,
this_header, header_buf, name_buf, ...), so the two writers corrupt
each other.

On arm64 v7.0-rc5+ this oopses early in boot:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff80018f9f0ffc
  pc : do_reset+0x3c/0x98
  Call trace:
   do_reset
   initramfs_test_extract
   kunit_try_run_case
  Initramfs unpacking failed: junk within compressed archive

do_reset() faults because 'victim' was overwritten by the boot-time
unpacker; the boot unpacker meanwhile logs the bogus "junk within
compressed archive" on the real initrd because the test wrecked its
state machine.

Add a .suite_init callback that calls wait_for_initramfs() so the async
unpack is quiescent before the first case runs. suite_init runs once per
suite rather than before every individual test case.

Provide some basic initramfs unpack sanity tests covering:

- simple file / dir extraction
- filename field overrun, as reported and fixed separately via
  https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241030035509.20194-2-ddiss@suse.de
- "070702" cpio data checksums
- hardlinks
