drm/xe/pat: Report missing PAT table using structured xe_log API

Replace drm_err() with xe_log_err() using the PAT component tag
when a platform has no matching PAT table entry.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but since you are modifying this error path,
I wanted to ask about the missing early return here.

When a platform doesn't match any known PAT table (such as when force-probing
a new unconfigured PCI ID), xe_pat_init_early() logs an error but continues
execution. This leaves xe->pat.ops uninitialized.

In debug builds, this will immediately crash on the subsequent assertion:

	xe_assert(xe, xe->pat.ops->dump);

In non-debug builds, it propagates to xe_pat_init() where it unconditionally
dereferences the uninitialized pointer:

	if (xe_gt_is_media_type(gt))
		xe->pat.ops->program_media(gt, xe->pat.table, xe->pat.n_entries);
	else
		xe->pat.ops->program_graphics(gt, xe->pat.table, xe->pat.n_entries);

Should this error path abort initialization rather than continuing with an
uninitialized xe->pat.ops pointer?
