initramfs: don't free a non-existent initrd

Browse Source 
Since commit 54c7a8916a ("initramfs: free initrd memory if opening
/initrd.image fails"), the kernel has unconditionally attempted to free
the initrd even if it doesn't exist.

In the non-existent case this causes a boot-time splat if
CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is enabled due to a call to virt_to_phys() with a
NULL address.

Instead we should check that the initrd actually exists and only attempt
to free it if it does.
