I need an explanation, if possible.
I'm pretty sure that a VFS' inode which refers to a ramfs' file is never
released (i.e. deleted) until that is unlinked. Anyway, I cannot find a
formal verification of this assertion.
Can you help ?

Yes, that's the way it is designed. The struct inode _is_ the ramfs
inode. If you delete the inode, the content is gone...
