[Buildroot] [git commit] linux: meddle not in the internals of filesystems

[Thomas Petazzoni]

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=cef77a6cf5c1982d22e899f046d5e345c0271e7a
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

Currently, the rule to rebuild the Linux kernel with an initramfs
directly depends on the path of the file of the intermediate cpio image.

This is inherently "bad" from a purity point of view; linux.mk should
not have to delve into the fs internals.

Rather, make it directly depend on the "frontal" rule that generates the
cpio image.

Drop the comment for linux-rebuild-with-initramfs, it was misleading
(talking about generating "the initramfs list of files", which is not
what was done, since we use a cpio as source of initramfs, not a list of
files).
