Subject: [PATCH] initramfs: Fix spurious rebuilds

Commit 35e669e1a254 ("initramfs: select builtin initram
compression algorithm on KConfig instead of Makefile") makes suffix_y be
a quote variable, which can be illustrated looking at the build output:

  GEN     usr/initramfs_data.cpio".gz"

Make sure that we do strip off double quotes from
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION, since the Makefile tracks targets with
unquoted suffixes.

Fixes: 35e669e1a254 ("initramfs: select builtin initram compression algorithm on KConfig instead of Makefile")
