Error: out of memory while booting after installing the linux-firmware

Bug description:
[Impact]
I found that there are some machines in cert lab can't boot after
installing the linux-frimware in proposed with 6.8.0-40 kernel.
After selecting booting with the 6.8.0-40 kernel, it shows error: out
of memory on the screen then freeze.
There aren't any journal logs available, since they froze at very
early stage.
Following are the machines got impacted for now
https://certification.canonical.com/hardware/202306-31695/
https://certification.canonical.com/hardware/202306-31696/
Problem details:
The linux-firmware package provides new (gigantic) firmware blobs and
symlinks to directories that contain those. initramfs-tools can't
handle the directory symlinks and puts multiple copies of the same
blobs into the initrd blowing it up to a size where it becomes
problematic on some machines.
[Test Case]
Verify the affected machine boots again with the updated firmware
package.
Install updated linux-firmware package and confirm that there are no
duplicate firmware files in /lib/firmware and inside the initrd. Also
verify that there are no broken symlinks.
[Where Problems Could Occur]
If the new symlinks are broken, we end up with drivers not finding
their firmwares which results in non-functional HW components.
[Notes]
This is not a general solution for the problem of the ever growing
size of the initrd. It just alleviate it some.
