x86/mtrr: Fix Xorg crashes in Qemu sessions

Browse Source 
A Xorg failure on qemu32 was reported as a regression [1] caused by
commit 9cd25aac1f ("x86/mm/pat: Emulate PAT when it is disabled").

This patch fixes the Xorg crash.

Negative effects of this regression were the following two failures [2]
in Xorg on QEMU with QEMU CPU model "qemu32" (-cpu qemu32), which were
triggered by the fact that its virtual CPU does not support MTRRs.

 #1. copy_process() failed in the check in reserve_pfn_range()

    copy_process
     copy_mm
      dup_mm
       dup_mmap
        copy_page_range
         track_pfn_copy
          reserve_pfn_range

 A WC map request was tracked as WC in memtype, which set a PTE as
 UC (pgprot) per __cachemode2pte_tbl[].  This led to this error in
 reserve_pfn_range() called from track_pfn_copy(), which obtained
 a pgprot from a PTE.  It converts pgprot to page_cache_mode, which
 does not necessarily result in the original page_cache_mode since
 __cachemode2pte_tbl[] redirects multiple types to UC.

 #2. error path in copy_process() then hit WARN_ON_ONCE in
     untrack_pfn().

     x86/PAT: Xorg:509 map pfn expected mapping type uncached-
     minus for [mem 0xfd000000-0xfdffffff], got write-combining
      Call Trace:
     dump_stack
     warn_slowpath_common
     ? untrack_pfn
     ? untrack_pfn
     warn_slowpath_null
     untrack_pfn
     ? __kunmap_atomic
     unmap_single_vma
     ? pagevec_move_tail_fn
     unmap_vmas
     exit_mmap
     mmput
     copy_process.part.47
     _do_fork
     SyS_clone
     do_syscall_32_irqs_on
     entry_INT80_32

These negative effects are caused by two separate bugs, but they
can be addressed in separate patches.  Fixing the pat_init() issue
described below addresses the root cause, and avoids Xorg to hit
these cases.

When the CPU does not support MTRRs, MTRR does not call pat_init(),
which leaves PAT enabled without initializing PAT.  This pat_init()
issue is a long-standing issue, but manifested as issue #1 (and then
hit issue #2) with the above-mentioned commit because the memtype
now tracks cache attribute with 'page_cache_mode'.

This pat_init() issue existed before the commit, but we used pgprot
in memtype.  Hence, we did not have issue #1 before.  But WC request
resulted in WT in effect because WC pgrot is actually WT when PAT
is not initialized.  This is not how it was designed to work.  When
PAT is set to disable properly, WC is converted to UC.  The use of
WT can result in a system crash if the target range does not support
WT.  Fortunately, nobody ran into such issue before.

To fix this pat_init() issue, PAT code has been enhanced to provide
pat_disable() interface.  Call this interface when MTRRs are disabled.
By setting PAT to disable properly, PAT bypasses the memtype check,
and avoids issue #1.
