Subject: [PATCH 2/2] kbuild: remove initramfs cpio with mrproper

When 'make mrproper' is done, it should also remove the initramfs cpio
file. I ran into this while doing test build on one machine, followed
by make mrproper and rsync to a target machine. The build on the target
machine would succeed but be unbootable because of the bad initramfs.
