Subject: [RFC resend] arm:change keep_initrd and free_initrd_mem into .init
 section

this patch change keep_initrd to __initdata section,
and free_initrd_mem to __init section so that they can be freed by
free_initmem, free_initrd_mem is only called by free_initrd function,
so it's safe to free it after use.
