Commit 4fd5d80e9dc0 (fs/cpio: accept a list of dracut.conf files) was
initially submitted before the first release wth dracut support was
made, so it took the liberty of renaming the option without introducing
the corresponding legacy entry.

But the patch was eventually applied after a release was made with
dracut support. In that case, renaming an option requires that the old
option be added to legacy, but that was understandably missed.

Fix that now.

We had two potions: revert to the previous name and add no legacy entry,
or keep the new name and add a legacy entry.

We choose the latter, because the new name with the plural form really
denotes that more than one file may be specified, and because we do not
expect too many people to be using that feature yet, so the burden of
updating should not impact too many (and it is very easy to update
anyway).

As Arnout pointed out, it was applied on next, not master, so is not in
a relase, soo all is good.

Patch rejected.
