Subject: x86/mtrr: Fix PAT init handling when MTRR is disabled

From: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hpe.com>

commit ad025a73f0e9344ac73ffe1b74c184033e08e7d5 upstream.

get_mtrr_state() calls pat_init() on BSP even if MTRR is disabled.
This results in calling pat_init() on BSP only since APs do not call
pat_init() when MTRR is disabled.  This inconsistency between BSP
and APs leads to undefined behavior.

Make BSP's calling condition to pat_init() consistent with AP's,
mtrr_ap_init() and mtrr_aps_init().
