[PATCH] ramdisk blocksize Kconfig entry

Make the ramdisk blocksize configurable at kernel compilation time rather
than only at boot or module load time, like a couple of the other ramdisk
options.  I found this handy awhile back but thought little of it, until
recently asked by a few of the testing folks here to be able to do the same
thing for their automated test setups.

The Kconfig comment is largely lifted from comments in rd.c, and hopefully
this will increase the chances of making folks aware that the default value
often isn't a great choice here (for increasing values of PAGE_SIZE, even
moreso).

The default value is 1024 kilobytes. PAGE_SIZE is a much more
efficient choice however. The default is kept to ensure initrd
setups function - apparently needed by the rd_load_image routine
that supposes the filesystem in the image uses a 1024 blocksize.
