x86/pat: Handle TDX guest PAT initialization

With the decoupling of PAT and MTRR initialization, PAT will be used
even with MTRRs disabled. This seems to break booting up as TDX guest,
as the recommended sequence to set the PAT MSR across CPUs can't work
in TDX guests due to disabling caches via setting CR0.CD isn't allowed
in TDX mode.

This is an inconsistency in the Intel documentation between the SDM
and the TDX specification. For now handle TDX mode the same way as Xen
PV guest mode by just accepting the current PAT MSR setting without
trying to modify it.
