x86/xen, pat: Remove PAT table init code from Xen
commit 88ba281108ed0c25c9d292b48bd3f272fcb90dd0 upstream.
Xen supports PAT without MTRRs for its guests. In order to
enable WC attribute, it was necessary for xen_start_kernel()
to call pat_init_cache_modes() to update PAT table before
starting guest kernel.
Now that the kernel initializes PAT table to the BIOS handoff
state when MTRR is disabled, this Xen-specific PAT init code
is no longer necessary. Delete it from xen_start_kernel().
Also change __init_cache_modes() to a static function since
PAT table should not be tweaked by other modules.
