This patch implements keepinitrd kernel parameter. By default,
keepinitrd=1 but users can pass "keepinitrd=0" to free-up
initrd memory at boot-time in free_initrd_mem() function.
The keepinitrd kernel parameter is already implemented by
unicore32, arm, and arm64 architectures and it is documented
at: Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt
