x86/mm/pat: Revert 'Adjust default caching mode translation tables'

Toshi explains:

"No, the default values need to be set to the fallback types,
 i.e. minimal supported mode.  For WC and WT, UC is the fallback type.

 When PAT is disabled, pat_init() does update the tables below to
 enable WT per the default BIOS setup.  However, when PAT is enabled,
 but CPU has PAT -errata, WT falls back to UC per the default values."
