x86/KASLR: Update KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE description

Currently CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=y is set by default, which makes some of the
old comments above the KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE definition out of date. Update them
to the current state of affairs.

/*
* Kernel image size is limited to 1GiB due to the fixmap living in the
* next 1GiB (see level2_kernel_pgt in arch/x86/kernel/head_64.S). Use
* 512MiB by default, leaving 1.5GiB for modules once the page tables
* are fully set up. If kernel ASLR is configured, it can extend the
* kernel page table mapping, reducing the size of the modules area.
* Maximum kernel image size is limited to 1 GiB, due to the fixmap living
* in the next 1 GiB (see level2_kernel_pgt in arch/x86/kernel/head_64.S).
*
* On KASLR use 1 GiB by default, leaving 1 GiB for modules once the
* page tables are fully set up.
*
* If KASLR is disabled we can shrink it to 0.5 GiB and increase the size
* of the modules area to 1.5 GiB.
