In preparation to fix a regression caused by 'commit 9cd25aac1f44
("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 in PAT disable state, it initializes
PAT table with the BIOS default value. Xen, however, sets PAT MSR
with a non-default value to enable WC. This causes inconsistency
between PAT table and PAT MSR when PAT is set to disable on Xen.

Change pat_init() to handle the PAT disable cases properly.  Add
pat_keep_handoff_state() 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.
