If there is a bootconfig data in the tail of initrd/initramfs,
initrd image sanity check caused an error while decompression
stage as follows.

[    0.883882] Unpacking initramfs...
[    2.696429] Initramfs unpacking failed: invalid magic at start of compressed archive

This error will be ignored if CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=n,
but CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y the kernel failed to mount rootfs
and causes a panic.

To fix this issue, shrink down the initrd_end for removing
tailing bootconfig data while boot the kernel.
