Subject: [PATCH] initramfs: support initrd that is bigger than 2GiB

When initrd (compressed or not) is used, kernel report data corrupted with
/dev/ram0.

The root cause:
During initramfs checking, if it is initrd, it will be transferred to
/initrd.image with sys_write.
sys_write only support 2G-4K write, so if the initrd ram is more than
that, /initrd.image will not complete at all.

Add local xwrite to loop calling sys_write to workaround the problem.

Also need to use xwrite in write_buffer() to handle:
image is uncompressed cpio and there is one big file (>2G) in it.
   unpack_to_rootfs ===> write_buffer ===> actions[]/do_copy

At the same time, we don't need to worry about sys_read/sys_write in
do_mounts_rd.c::crd_load.  As decompressor will have fill/flush and local
buffer that is smaller than 2G.

Test with uncompressed initrd, and compressed ones with gz, bz2, lzma,xz,
lzop.
