[patch 06/13] x86: PAT use reserve free memtype in set_memory_uc

[venkatesh . pallipadi]

Use reserve_memtype and free_memtype interfaces in set_memory_uc/set_memory_wb
interfaces to avoid aliasing.
Usage model of set_memory_uc and set_memory_wb is for RAM memory and users
will first call set_memory_uc and call set_memory_wb after use to reset the
attribute.
