Subject: [PATCH] X86: don't report PAT on CPUs that don't support it

In the file arch/x86/mm/pat.c, there's a variable __pat_enabled. The
variable is set to 1 by default and the function pat_init() sets
__pat_enabled to 0 if the CPU doesn't support PAT.

However, on AMD K6-3 CPU, the processor initialization code never calls
pat_init() and so __pat_enabled stays 1 and the function pat_enabled()
returns true, even though the K6-3 CPU doesn't support PAT.

The result of this bug is that this warning is produced when attemting to
start the Xserver and the Xserver doesn't start (fork() returns ENOMEM).
Another symptom of this bug is that the framebuffer driver doesn't set the
K6-3 MTRR registers.

This patch changes pat_enabled() so that it returns true only if pat
initialization was actually done.

Also, I changed boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_PAT) to
this_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_PAT) in pat_ap_init, so that we check the PAT
feature on the processor that is being initialized.
