Florian Fainelli e08b187745 initramfs: fix initramfs rebuilds w/ compression after disabling
This is a follow-up to commit 57ddfdaa9a ("initramfs: fix disabling of
initramfs (and its compression)").  This particular commit fixed the use
case where we build the kernel with an initramfs with no compression,
and then we build the kernel with no initramfs.

Now this still left us with the same case as described here:

  http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170521033337.6197-1-f.fainelli@gmail.com

not working with initramfs compression.  This can be seen by the
following steps/timestamps:

  https://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg2598153.html

.initramfs_data.cpio.gz.cmd is correct:

  cmd_usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz := /bin/bash
  ./scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh -o usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz  -u 1000 -g 1000  /home/fainelli/work/uclinux-rootfs/romfs /home/fainelli/work/uclinux-rootfs/misc/initramfs.dev

and was generated the first time we did generate the gzip initramfs, so
the command has not changed, nor its arguments, so we just don't call
it, no initramfs cpio is re-generated as a consequence.

The fix for this problem is just to properly keep track of the
.initramfs_cpio_data.d file by suffixing it with the compression
extension.  This takes care of properly tracking dependencies such that
the initramfs get (re)generated any time files are added/deleted etc.
