[v3,6/6] RISC-V: Implement keepinitrd kernel parameter

Commit Message

This patch implements keepinitrd kernel parameter. By default,
keepinitrd=0 so initrd memory will be freed by default freed but
users can pass "keepinitrd=1" to keep the initrd memory.

The keepinitrd kernel parameter is already implemented by unicore32,
arm, and arm64 architectures and it is documented at:
Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt
