INITRD reserved area entry is not removed from memblock
even though initrd reserved area is freed. After freeing
the memory it is released from memblock. The same can be
checked from /sys/kernel/debug/memblock/reserved.
The patch makes sure that the initrd entry is removed from
memblock when keepinitrd is not enabled.

Yes, the impact is only on accounting or debugging.
We were trying to reduce the reserved memory by removing initrd reserved area.
After disabling "keepinitrd", only way to check if it was removed or
not was to check
/sys/kernel/debug/memblock/reserved. We found the entry to be present
irrespective of
"keepinitrd" being enabled/disabled.
I hope that with the fix others wont face similar issue. Also we did
not find any such problem
with ARM32 ARCHITECTURE.

this only affects accountinga and debugging, rather than plugging an
