x86/mm/pat: Improve scaling of pat_pagerange_is_ram()

Function pat_pagerange_is_ram() scales poorly to large address
ranges, because it probes the resource tree for each page.

On a 2.6 GHz Opteron, this function consumes 34 ms for a 1 GB range.

It is called twice during untrack_pfn_vma(), slowing process
cleanup and handicapping the OOM killer.

This replacement consumes less than 1ms, under the same conditions.
