init: remove CONFIG_INIT_FALLBACK

CONFIG_INIT_FALLBACK adds config bloat without an obvious use case that
makes it worth keeping around.  Delete it.

config INIT_FALLBACK
bool "Fall back to defaults if init= parameter is bad"
default y
help
If enabled, the kernel will try the default init binaries if an
explicit request from the init= parameter fails.
This can have unexpected effects. For example, booting
with init=/sbin/kiosk_app will run /sbin/init or even /bin/sh
if /sbin/kiosk_app cannot be executed.
The default value of Y is consistent with historical behavior.
Selecting N is likely to be more appropriate for most uses,
especially on kiosks and on kernels that are intended to be
run under the control of a script.
