[PATCH] INITRAMFS: Add option to preserve mtime from INITRAMFScpio images

[Nye Liu]

Resubmission of initramfs preserve mtime patch following Andrew Morton's
suggestions.

From: Nye Liu <nyet@xxxxxxxx>

When unpacking the cpio into the initramfs, mtimes are not preserved by
default. This patch adds an INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME option that allows mtimes
stored in the cpio image to be used when constructing the initramfs. For
embedded applications that run exclusively out of the initramfs, this is
invaluable.
