Give more detailed information about PINNED data in a heap profile

This is particularly useful when tracking down memory leaks due to retaining (sub)bytestrings which themselves retain larger bytestrings. At the moment, all the profile tells us is that this memory is "PINNED" but it doesn't give us any info at all as to where the memory was allocated.
