x86/mm/pat: Add set_memory_wt() for Write-Through type
Now that reserve_ram_pages_type() accepts the WT type, add set_memory_wt(), set_memory_array_wt() and set_pages_array_wt() in order to be able to set memory to Write-Through page cache mode. Also, extend ioremap_change_attr() to accept the WT type.
