x86/mm/pat: Fix BUG_ON() in mmap_mem() on QEMU/i386 

The following BUG_ON() crash was reported on QEMU/i386:

  kernel BUG at arch/x86/mm/physaddr.c:79!
  Call Trace:
  phys_mem_access_prot_allowed
  mmap_mem
  ? mmap_region
  mmap_region
  do_mmap
  vm_mmap_pgoff
  SyS_mmap_pgoff
  do_int80_syscall_32
  entry_INT80_32

after commit:

  edfe63ec97 ("x86/mtrr: Fix Xorg crashes in Qemu sessions")

PAT is now set to disabled state when MTRRs are disabled.
Thus, reactivating the __pa(high_memory) check in
phys_mem_access_prot_allowed().

When CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is set, __pa() calls __phys_addr(),
which in turn calls slow_virt_to_phys() for 'high_memory'.
Because 'high_memory' is set to (the max direct mapped virt
addr + 1), it is not a valid virtual address.  Hence,
slow_virt_to_phys() returns 0 and hit the BUG_ON.  Using
__pa_nodebug() instead of __pa() will fix this BUG_ON.

However, this code block, originally written for Pentiums and
earlier, is no longer adequate since a 32-bit Xen guest has
MTRRs disabled and supports ZONE_HIGHMEM.  In this setup,
this code sets UC attribute for accessing RAM in high memory
range.

Delete this code block as it has been unused for a long time.
