x86, PAT: Remove page granularity tracking for vm_insert_pfn maps

upstream commit: 4b065046273afa01ec8e3de7da407e8d3599251d

This change resolves the problem of too many single page entries
in pat_memtype_list and "freeing invalid memtype" errors with i915,
reported here:

Remove page level granularity track and untrack of vm_insert_pfn.
memtype tracking at page granularity does not scale and cleaner
approach would be for the driver to request a type for a bigger
IO address range or PCI io memory range for that device, either at
mmap time or driver init time and just use that type during
vm_insert_pfn.

This patch just removes the track/untrack of vm_insert_pfn. That
means we will be in same state as 2.6.28, with respect to these APIs.

Newer APIs for the drivers to request a memtype for a bigger region
is coming soon.

[ Impact: fix Xorg startup warnings and hangs ]
