x86: work around PAGE_KERNEL_WC not getting WC in iomap_atomic_prot_pfn.

In the absence of PAT, PAGE_KERNEL_WC ends up mapping to a memory type that
gets UC behavior even in the presence of a WC MTRR covering the area in
question.  By swapping to PAGE_KERNEL_UC_MINUS, we can get the actual
behavior the caller wanted (WC if you can manage it, UC otherwise).

This recovers the 40% performance improvement of using WC in the DRM
to upload vertex data.
