Простите за задержку. Уехал на openssl конференцию и думал, что никто не
заметит. И пропустил всю движуху :)

Да, ты прав. Это бага из-за рефакторинга. Исторически эта ошибка появилась
в два шага:

1. В коммите 598a4b241a ("Rewrite console locking") блокировка через
директорию /.initrd/rdshell.lock была заменена на `fd_lock 90 /dev/console`.
На тот момент логика жила в короткоживущем uevent-хендлере 400-rootdelay,
который делал:

  fd_lock 90 /dev/console
  rdshell "Emergency shell" &
  exit

Сам хендлер тут же завершался (exit), закрывая у себя fd 90, а фоновый
процесс rdshell наследовал fd 90 и удерживал flock на /dev/console, пока
пользователь не выйдет из шелла.

2. В коммите 5bba8d357a ("Convert rootdelay to service") одноразовый
хендлер превратился в постоянный демон rootdelayd с бесконечным циклом, а
exit механически заменили на continue.

В результате rootdelayd берёт эксклюзивный лок fd_lock 90 /dev/console,
запускает rdshell & и уходит на continue, где бесконечно крутится в:

   if [ -e "$disabled" ] || rootdelay_paused; then
      sleep $period                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
      continue                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
   fi

Когда пользователь нажимает Ctrl-D в rdshell, процесс rdshell завершается,
но демон rootdelayd остаётся жить с открытым дескриптором 90 и никогда не
вызывает fd_unlock 90.

Патч правильный, но неполный. В твоём пвтче дескриптор 90 унаследуется
rdshell и остальными утилитами из него. Правильнее закрыть дескриптор:

  fd_lock 90 /dev/console
  rdshell "Emergency shell" 90<&-
  fd_unlock 90

и во втором месте тоже.
