[oe] [meta-initramfs][PATCH] dracut: fix generated initramfs boot failure under bash 5

If shebang is set to /bin/sh and /bin/sh is a symlink to /bin/bash,
bash turn on posix mode.

Since bash is upgraded to 5.0, it follows 'IEEE 1003.2 POSIX Shell
Standard', to implement 'functions do not have local traps or options,
and it is not possible to define local variables'

For more detail, see variables.c:push_posix_temp_var in the following commit

+Subject: [PATCH] set viriable _drv not local
+
+If shebang is set to /bin/sh and /bin/sh is a symlink to /bin/bash,
+bash turn on posix mode.
+
+Since bash is upgraded to 5.0, it follows 'IEEE 1003.2 POSIX Shell
+Standard', to implement 'functions do not have local traps or options,
+and it is not possible to define local variables'
+
+For more detail, see variables.c:push_posix_temp_var in the following commit
+http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/commit/?id=d233b485e83c3a784b803fb894280773f16f2deb
+
+The IEEE 1003.2 POSIX Shell Standard:
+https://www.cs.ait.ac.th/~on/O/oreilly/unix/ksh/appa_02.htm
+
+While /bin/sh points to bash 5.0, it caused the following issue:
+
+$ cat <<ENDOF>case.sh
+fsck_drv_com(){
+  echo "issuing \$_drv"
+}
+
+fsck_able() {
+  _drv="_drv=e2fsck fsck_drv_com"
+}
+
+fsck_single() {
+  local _drv
+  fsck_able
+  eval "\$_drv"
+}
+fsck_single
+ENDOF
+$ chmod a+x case.sh
+
+Unexpected:
+$ ./cash.sh
+issuing _drv=e2fsck fsck_drv_com
+
+Set viriable _drv not local, get expected result:
+$ ./case.sh
+issuing e2fsck
+
