[PATCH 1/4] Documentation/arch: fix typo "initalised" in comment

[Hemanth Selam]

Correct "initalised" to "initialized", reported by scripts/checkpatch.pl
using the misspelling list in scripts/spelling.txt.  Only touches comments,
no code changes.

Yes, it's misspelled here. But please be aware of this (from
Documentation/doc-guide/contributing.rst):

Please note that some things are *not* typos and should not be "fixed":

 - Both American and British English spellings are allowed within the
   kernel documentation.  There is no need to fix one by replacing it with
   the other.

 - The question of whether a period should be followed by one or two spaces
   is not to be debated in the context of kernel documentation.  Other
   areas of rational disagreement, such as the "Oxford comma", are also
   off-topic here.
