x86: PAT: fix ambiguous paranoia check in pat_init()

Starting with commit 8d4a430085 (x86:
cleanup PAT cpu validation) the PAT CPU feature flag is not cleared
anymore. Now the error message

  "PAT enabled, but CPU feature cleared"

in pat_init() is misleading.

Furthermore the current code does not check for existence of the PAT
CPU feature flag if a CPU is whitelisted in validate_pat_support.

This patch clears pat_wc_enabled if boot CPU has no PAT feature flag
and adapts the paranoia check.
