init: allow CONFIG_INIT_FALLBACK=n to disable defaults if init= fails
If a user puts init=/whatever on the command line and /whatever can't be
run, then the kernel will try a few default options before giving up. If
init=/whatever came from a bootloader prompt, then this is unexpected but
probably harmless. On the other hand, if it comes from a script (e.g. a
tool like virtme or perhaps a future kselftest script), then the fallbacks
are likely to exist, but they'll do the wrong thing. For example, they
might unexpectedly invoke systemd.
This adds a config option CONFIG_INIT_FALLBACK. If unset, then a failure
to run the specified init= process be fatal.
The tentative plan is to remove CONFIG_INIT_FALLBACK for 3.20.
