The Linux kernel requires that initrd images contain a /init file for
the image to be used as an initrd, even if it is empty. Adding it into
the rootfs directory creates a race, that can upset tar when building
both a .tar and .cpio image file ("tar: .: file changed as we read it").
Additionally, whether or not the tar file will contain the /init file is
also up to the race condition.
To avoid this problem, move the /init addition out from the rootfs
directory, and thus only include it in the .cpio image.
