[PATCH 07/15] initrd.4, proc.5, bootparam.7: update pointer to in-kernel initrd documentation

[Eugene Syromyatnikov]

Linux commit v4.10-rc1~40^2~86^2~4 moves initrd documentation from
Documentation/initrd.txt to Documentation/admin-quide/initrd.rst.

* man4/initrd.4 (.SS Changing the normal root filesystem, .SH SEE ALSO):
Amend pointer to in-kernel initrd documentation with change introduced
in Linux 4.10 (move to Documentation/admin-guide/initrd.rst).
* man5/proc.5 (.SS Files and directories)
<.TP .I /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev>: Likewise.
* man7/bootparam.7 (.SS Boot arguments for ramdisk use)
<.TP .B 'noinitrd'>: Likewise.
