Juergen Gross 9d34cfdf47 x86: Don't rely on VMWare emulating PAT MSR correctly
VMWare seems not to emulate the PAT MSR correctly: reaeding
MSR_IA32_CR_PAT returns 0 even after writing another value to it.

Commit bd809af16e triggers this VMWare bug when the kernel is
booted as a VMWare guest.

Detect this bug and don't use the read value if it is 0.

Fixes: bd809af16e "x86: Enable PAT to use cache mode translation tables"
