Message-ID <20260720-move-gen_init_cpio-to-scripts-v2-1-26b7e15c7133@kernel.org>
Let usr/gen_init_cpio be built also if there is no kernel configuration.

Askar Safin reported that gen_init_cpio may be of use before any kernel
configuration is available.  Add usr_gen_init_cpio to list of targets
that do not require a .config file.
