Subject: [PATCH 3/4] initramfs: mark collect buffers as __user pointers

collected, vcollected, collect are used for syscall routines so it would be
better to be __user pointers. We can add __user/__force markup on every calls
but marking them as user pointers requires less change.

Impact: remove sparse warnings, no functional change
