After removing the private copy of zlib in kinit, we need

Dumb question, then: why not make it conditional on rd now?
Mostly because I haven't yet broken down kinit in configurable chunks;
it's somewhat messy to do as long as I'm maintaining a standalone
distribution as well as the out-of-mainline kernel tree. Not difficult
by any means, but I've wanted to avoid combinatorics and code churn as
long as I have a limited testing base (although -mm has vastly increased
it.)
It's also unclear to me if it's the right thing to omit it from the
library, ever; the only users that are affected are the ones that are
using the shared klibc and don't have any use of zlib.
