Subject: [for-next][PATCH 04/12] init: bootconfig: Remove all bootconfig data when the init memory is
 removed

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@...nel.org>

Since the bootconfig is used only in the init functions,
it doesn't need to keep the data after boot. Free it when
the init memory is removed.
