x86/boot/e820: Fix and clean up e820_type switch() statements



A test-build of e820.o with -Wswitch-enum shows the following warnings:

  arch/x86/kernel/e820.c: In function ‘e820_type_to_string’:
  arch/x86/kernel/e820.c:965:2: warning: enumeration value ‘E820_TYPE_RESERVED’ not handled in switch [-Wswitch-enum]
    switch (entry->type) {
    ^

  arch/x86/kernel/e820.c: In function ‘e820_type_to_iomem_type’:
  arch/x86/kernel/e820.c:979:2: warning: enumeration value ‘E820_TYPE_RESERVED’ not handled in switch [-Wswitch-enum]
    switch (entry->type) {
    ^

  arch/x86/kernel/e820.c: In function ‘e820_type_to_iores_desc’:
  arch/x86/kernel/e820.c:993:2: warning: enumeration value ‘E820_TYPE_RESERVED’ not handled in switch [-Wswitch-enum]
    switch (entry->type) {
    ^

  arch/x86/kernel/e820.c: In function ‘do_mark_busy’:
  arch/x86/kernel/e820.c:1015:2: warning: enumeration value ‘E820_TYPE_RAM’ not handled in switch [-Wswitch-enum]
    switch (type) {
	    ^

Here's the four warnings:

  - The one in e820_type_to_string() is a borderline bug, we should differentiate
    known-reserved E820 types from unknown types. Fix it by printing a separate
    message for unknown E820 types.

  - The ones in e820_type_to_iomem_type(), e820_type_to_iores_desc() and
    do_mark_busy() are worth documenting, at least to the extent of
    enumerating them explicitly.
