[v2,27/29] x86/mm: Report which part of kernel image is freed

Commit Message

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:

[    2.150450] Freeing unused kernel image memory: 1348K
[    2.154574] Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 20480k
[    2.157641] Freeing unused kernel image memory: 2040K
[    2.158827] Freeing unused kernel image memory: 172K

After:

[    2.329678] Freeing unused kernel image (initmem) memory: 1348K
[    2.331953] Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 20480k
[    2.335361] Freeing unused kernel image (text/rodata gap) memory: 2040K
[    2.336927] Freeing unused kernel image (rodata/data gap) memory: 172K
