Subject: [PATCH v2] efi/libstub: EFI_GENERIC_STUB_INITRD_CMDLINE_LOADER should not default to yes

EFI_GENERIC_STUB_INITRD_CMDLINE_LOADER is deprecated, so it should not
be enabled by default.

In light of commit 4da0b2b7e67524cc ("efi/libstub: Re-enable command
line initrd loading for x86"), keep the default for X86.

Fixes: cf6b83664895a5c7 ("efi/libstub: Make initrd file loader configurable")
Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@...der.be>

Hopefully kernelCI has updated its QEMU firmware since v1 was posted...

v2:
  - Rebase on top of commit d7071743db31b4f6 ("RISC-V: Add EFI stub
    support.") in v5.10-rc1.
