x86, pat: Proper init of memtype subtree_max_end

subtree_max_end that was recently added to struct memtype was not getting
properly initialized resulting in

WARNING: kmemcheck: Caught 64-bit read from uninitialized memory
in memtype_rb_augment_cb()
reported here
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16092

This change fixes the problem.
