x86/mm/pat: Don't flush cache if hardware enforces cache coherency across encryption domnains

Browse source 
commit 75d1cc0e05 upstream.

In some hardware implementations, coherency between the encrypted and
unencrypted mappings of the same physical page is enforced. In such a
system, it is not required for software to flush the page from all CPU
caches in the system prior to changing the value of the C-bit for the
page. So check that bit before flushing the cache.
