x86/mm/init: Add helper for freeing kernel image pages

CVE-2017-5754

When chunks of the kernel image are freed, free_init_pages() is used
directly.  Consolidate the three sites that do this.  Also update the
string to give an incrementally better description of that memory versus
what was there before.
