initramfs: do not show compression mode choice if INITRAMFS_SOURCE is empty
Since commit ddd09bcc899f ("initramfs: make compression options not depend on INITRAMFS_SOURCE"), Kconfig asks the compression mode for the built-in initramfs regardless of INITRAMFS_SOURCE. It is technically simpler, but pointless from a UI perspective, Linus says [1]. When INITRAMFS_SOURCE is empty, usr/Makefile creates a tiny default cpio, which is so small that nobody cares about the compression. This commit hides the Kconfig choice in that case. The default cpio is embedded without compression, which was the original behavior.

This option allows you to decide by which algorithm the builtin
initramfs will be compressed. Several compression algorithms are
