[TRIVIAL] [PATCH] Documentation/filesystems/ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt

[frans]

A trivial patch on ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt 
First a file hello.c is created, then the file hello2.c is compiled.
Changed this to hello.c

Mailed this before to trivial@kernel.org only but did not get a reply and
haven't seen it applied yet, so resubmitting to a wider audience...
