Subject: [RFC v2 PATCH 3/3] init: introduce CONFIG_USE_INIT_SYSCALL_AS_KERNEL_ROUTINE

Add new config option USE_INIT_SYSCALL_AS_KERNEL_ROUTINE. This makes
some of kern_sys_*() functions call internal kernel routines directly
instead of calling syscall routine so that it can get rid of
user/kernel address space handling.
