I wouldn't actually call it the "memory pool size" as I see the size as
a constant set at config time. What about "memory pool available"?

(even this one is not entirely accurate since we have a
mem_pool_free_list but I expect such list not to have too many elements
at the late_initcall time)

If you change the printed string:
