x86_has_pat_wp() is using a wrong test, as it relies on the normal
PAT configuration used by the kernel. In case the PAT MSR has been
setup by another entity (e.g. BIOS or Xen hypervisor) it might return
false even if the PAT configuration is allowing WP mappings.

Fixes: 1f6f655e01ad ("x86/mm: Add a x86_has_pat_wp() helper")
