[PATCH v2] docs: arm64: Fix typo "initalised" in booting.rst

[Hemanth Selam]

Correct the misspelling "initalised" in the arm64 booting document.

v1 changed it to "initialized", which quietly moved the file from
British to American spelling.  Randy Dunlap pointed out that
doc-guide/checkpatch.rst asks that both spellings be left alone, so
this uses "initialised" and only fixes the missing "i".

checkpatch.pl suggested "initialized" because scripts/spelling.txt maps
these two entries to the American form; that is addressed separately.

Only the documentation text changes.

doc-guide/contributing.rst ?

There's no checkpatch.rst in doc-guide, I guess.

And, future readers may not know what was in v1. Or rather, I don't
think mentioning v1 here adds much.

But I think a brief summary of your discussion with Randy in the
previous round might be useful.?

Nit: You seem to prefer spelling this out, but the diff is fairly
     straightforward. Do we really need to mention it explicitly?

Of course, I don't know whether this commit message was written by it.
