Subject: [PATCH v10 10/12] x86, mm, pat: Cleanup init flags in pat_init()

pat_init() uses two flags, 'boot_cpu' and 'boot_pat_state', for
tracking the boot CPU's initialization status.  'boot_pat_state'
is also overloaded to carry the boot PAT value.

This patch cleans this up by replacing them with a new single
flag, 'boot_cpu_done', to track the boot CPU's initialization
status.  'boot_pat_state' is only used to carry the boot PAT
value as a result.
