arm64: remove pr_cont abuse from mem_init
All the lines printed by mem_init are independent, with each ending with
a newline. While they logically form a large block, none are actually
continuations of previous lines.
The kernel-side printk code and the userspace demsg tool differ in their
handling of KERN_CONT following a newline, and while this isn't always a
problem kernel-side, it does cause difficulty for userspace. Using
pr_cont causes the userspace tool to not print line prefix (e.g.
timestamps) even when following a newline, mis-aligning the output and
making it harder to read, e.g.

Fix this by using pr_notice consistently for all lines, which both the
kernel and userspace are happy with.
