extract-vmlinux: Output used decompression method

When extract-vmlinux succeeds, it doesn't output which decompression method
was found at which offset. Adding this additional output in check_vmlinux()
helps troubleshooting and reverse-engineering images.

The last check_vmlinux() call was also quoted to accept spaces.
