[Buildroot] [PATCH] linux: allow own initramfs to be specified

[Daniel Mack]

The initramfs source location is removed from the given Linux kernel
configuration at the moment and only filled in again in case BR2 is
asked to provide a cpio for that feature.

This patch allows to specify an own location for such an image file.
