x86/xen, pat: Remove PAT table init code from Xen
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.
