x86/mm: Report which part of kernel image is freed



The memory freeing report wasn't very useful for figuring out which
parts of the kernel image were being freed. Add the details for clearer
reporting in dmesg.

Before:

  Freeing unused kernel image memory: 1348K
  Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 20480k
  Freeing unused kernel image memory: 2040K
  Freeing unused kernel image memory: 172K

After:

  Freeing unused kernel image (initmem) memory: 1348K
  Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 20480k
  Freeing unused kernel image (text/rodata gap) memory: 2040K
  Freeing unused kernel image (rodata/data gap) memory: 172K
