Current code use ramfs instead of tmpfs for stub when root= defined.
But for real use case with initramfs, usually there's like cmdline like
root=UUID=$UUID the root dev is the real device. For that case we have
no way to use initmpfs, thus this patch removes the limitation so tmpfs
can benefit more people.
The logic become:
if CONFIG_TMPFS && rootfstype is not ramfs
use tmpfs
else
use ramfs
