x86: init_memory_mapping() PSE and PGE setup ifdef removal

Impact: cleanup

Section 3.10 ("PAE-Enabled Paging in IA-32e Mode") of the Intel manual
states that The CR4.PSE bit is ignored in IA-32e mode. In 64-bit mode,
PGE is enabled at early boot so there's no need to hide setting them up
in an ifdef.
