scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh: fix flags for initramfs LZ4 compression
LZ4 as implemented in the kernel differs from the default method now
used by the reference implementation of LZ4. Until the in-kernel method
is updated to support the new default, passing the legacy flag (-l) to
the compressor is necessary. Without this flag the kernel-generated,
LZ4-compressed initramfs is junk.
Kyungsik said:
: It seems that lz4 supports legacy format with the same option as lz4c
: does. Just looking at the first few bytes of lz4 compressed image, we can
: see whether it is new format or not.

: It shows new format magic number without this patch. New format magic
: number is 0x184d2204.

: Currently kernel supports legacy format only.
