When the rootfs code was a wrapper around ramfs, having them in the same
file made sense. Now that it can wrap another filesystem type, move it
in with the init code instead.
This also allows a subsequent patch to access rootfstype= command line arg.

Command line option rootfstype=ramfs to obtain old initramfs behavior,
and use ramfs instead of tmpfs for stub when root= defined (for cosmetic

Use tmpfs for rootfs when CONFIG_TMPFS=y and there's no root=.
Specify rootfstype=ramfs to get the old initramfs behavior.
The previous initramfs code provided a fairly crappy root filesystem:

Even though ramfs hasn't got a backing device, commit e0bf68ddec4f added one
anyway, and put the initialization in init_rootfs() since that's the first
user, leaving it out of init_ramfs() to avoid duplication.
But initmpfs uses init_tmpfs() instead, so move
