    kbuild: clean compressed initramfs image · d4a54645

    Since 9e3596b0 ("kbuild: initramfs cleanup, set target from Kconfig")
    "make clean" leaves behind compressed initramfs images.  Example:
    
      $ make defconfig
      $ sed -i 's|CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE=""|CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="/tmp/ir.cpio"|' .config
      $ make olddefconfig
      $ make -s
      $ make -s clean
      $ git clean -ndxf | grep initramfs
      Would remove usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz
    
    clean rules do not have CONFIG_* context so they do not know which
    compression format was used.  Thus they don't know which files to delete.
    
    Tell clean to delete all possible compression formats.
    
    Once patched usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz and friends are deleted by
    "make clean".
