x86/mm/pat: Add support of non-default PAT MSR setting



In preparation for fixing a regression caused by:

  9cd25aac ("x86/mm/pat: Emulate PAT when it is disabled")'

... PAT needs to support a case that PAT MSR is initialized with a
non-default value.

When pat_init() is called and PAT is disabled, it initializes the
PAT table with the BIOS default value. Xen, however, sets PAT MSR
with a non-default value to enable WC. This causes inconsistency
between the PAT table and PAT MSR when PAT is set to disable on Xen.

Change pat_init() to handle the PAT disable cases properly.  Add
init_cache_modes() to handle two cases when PAT is set to disable.

 1. CPU supports PAT: Set PAT table to be consistent with PAT MSR.
 2. CPU does not support PAT: Set PAT table to be consistent with
    PWT and PCD bits in a PTE.

Note, __init_cache_modes(), renamed from pat_init_cache_modes(),
will be changed to a static function in a later patch.
