x86/PCI/PAT: return EINVAL for pci mmap WC request for !pat_enabled

Thomas Schlichter reported:

Instead of silently mapping pci mmap region as UC minus in the case
of !pat_enabled and wc request, we can return error. Eric Anholt mentioned
that caller (like X) typically follows up with UC minus pci mmap request and
if there is a free mtrr slot, caller will manage adding WC mtrr.

Jesse Barnes says:
