Subject: initramfs should not depend on CONFIG_BLOCK
From: Dimitri Gorokhovik <dimitri.gorokhovik@xxxxxxx>
initramfs ended up depending on BLOCK:
INITRAMFS_SOURCE <-- BLK_DEV_INITRD <-- BLOCK
This inhibits use of customized-initramfs-over-ramfs without block layer
(ramfs would still be enabled), useful in embedded applications.
Move BLK_DEV_INITRD out of 'drivers/block/Kconfig' and into 'init/Kconfig',
make it unconditional.
