init: flush async file closing

When unpacking the initramfs or when mounting block devices we need to
ensure that any delayed fput() finished to prevent spurious errors.
The init process can be a proper kernel thread or a user mode helper.
In the latter case PF_KTHREAD isn't set. So we need to do both
flush_delayed_work() and task_work_run().

Since we'll port block device opening and closing to regular file open
and closing we need to ensure the same as for the initramfs. So just
make that a little helper.
