x86/mm/pat: Extend set_page_memtype() to support Write-Through type
As set_memory_wb() calls free_ram_pages_type(), which then calls
set_page_memtype() with -1, _PGMT_DEFAULT is used for tracking
the WB type. _PGMT_WB is defined but unused. Thus, rename
_PGMT_DEFAULT to _PGMT_WB to clarify the usage, and release the
slot used by _PGMT_WB.
Furthermore, change free_ram_pages_type() to call
set_page_memtype() with _PGMT_WB, and get_page_memtype() to
return _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_WB for _PGMT_WB.
Then, define _PGMT_WT in the freed slot. This allows
set_page_memtype() to track the WT type.
