[MIPS] Probe initrd header only if explicitly specified
Currently init_initrd() probes initrd header at the last page of kernel
image, but it is valid only if addinitrd was used. If addinitrd was not
used, the area contains garbage so probing there might misdetect initrd
header (magic number is not strictly robust).
This patch introduces CONFIG_PROBE_INITRD_HEADER to explicitly enable this
probing.
