x86 PAT: remove CPA WARN_ON for zero pte
Impact: reduce scope of debug check - avoid warnings The logic to find whether identity map exists or not using high_memory or max_low_pfn_mapped/max_pfn_mapped are not complete as the memory withing the range may not be mapped if there is a unusable hole in e820. Specifically, on my test system I started seeing these warnings with tools like hwinfo, acpidump trying to map ACPI region.

But, there can also be other holes in identity map when we have 1GB of aligned reserved space in e820. This patch handles it by removing the WARN_ON and returning a specific error value (EFAULT) to indicate that the address does not have any identity mapping. The code that tries to keep identity map in sync can ignore this error, with other callers of cpa still getting error here.
