x86, pat: Proper init of memtype subtree_max_end
subtree_max_end that was recently added to struct memtype was not getting properly initialized resulting in WARNING: kmemcheck: Caught 64-bit read from uninitialized memory in memtype_rb_augment_cb() reported here https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16092 This change fixes the problem.
