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.
