20413f2716 x86, pat: Fix memory leak in free_memtype
Reserve_memtype will allocate memory for new memtype, but
in free_memtype, after the memtype erased from rbtree, the
memory is not freed.

Changes since V1:
	make rbt_memtype_erase return erased memtype so that
	it can be freed in free_memtype.

[ hpa: not for -stable: 2.6.34 and earlier not affected ]

9e41a49aab x86, pat: Migrate to rbtree only backend for pat memtype management
Move pat backend to fully rbtree based implementation from the existing
rbtree and linked list hybrid.

New rbtree based solution uses interval trees (augmented rbtrees) in
order to store the PAT ranges. The new code seprates out the pat backend
to pat_rbtree.c file, making is cleaner. The change also makes the PAT
lookup, reserve and free operations more optimal, as we don't have to
traverse linear linked list of few tens of entries in normal case.
