For most architectures free_initrd_mem just expands to the same
free_reserved_area call.  Provide that as a generic implementation
marked __weak.

csky seems to open-code free_reserved_page with the only
difference that it's also increments totalram_pages for the freed pages,
which doesn't seem correct anyway...

That said, I suppose arch/csky can be also added to the party.

Some architectures have pr_info("Freeing initrd memory..."), I'd add it for
the generic version as well.

Another thing that I was thinking of is that x86 has all those memory
protection calls in its free_initrd_mem, maybe it'd make sense to have them
in the generic version as well?
