update-initramfs: Make "-c -k all" options useful again
"update-initramfs -c -k all" used to re-create initramfs images if they had been deleted without using "update-initramfs -d", as it used the state directory to determine which kernel versions should have them. Since commit f39625a "update-initramfs: Make "-k all" take over other initramfs images", it ignores the state directory and is almost equivalent to "update-initramfs -u -k all". Change it to operate on all installed kernel versions. This will ignore which kernel versions suppressed initramfs generation, but I think it's reasonable to assume users won't use these options if they have installed such kernels. Closes: #926401 Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>
