x86/mm/pat: Emulate PAT when it is disabled

In the case when PAT is disabled on the command line with
"nopat" or when virtualization doesn't support PAT (correctly) -
see

9d34cfdf4796 ("x86: Don't rely on VMWare emulating PAT MSR correctly").

we emulate it using the PWT and PCD cache attribute bits. Get
rid of boot_pat_state while at it.

Based on a conglomerate patch from Toshi Kani.
