initrd: mark initrd support as deprecated
The classic initial ramdisk has been replaced by the much more flexible and efficient initramfs a long time. Warn about it being removed soon. Includes a spelling fix from Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Acked-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
