x86/mm/pat: Use _PAGE_GLOBAL bit for EFI page table mappings

Since EFI page tables can be treated as kernel page tables they should
be global. All the other page mapping functions in pageattr.c set the
_PAGE_GLOBAL bit and we want to avoid inconsistencies when we map a page
in the EFI code paths, for example when that page is split in
__split_large_page(), etc. It also makes it easier to validate that the
EFI region mappings have the correct attributes because there are fewer
differences compared with regular kernel mappings.
