x86/hvm: Improve hvm_set_guest_pat() code generation

This is a fastpath on virtual vmentry/exit, and forcing guest_pat to be
spilled to the stack is bad.  Performing the shift in a register is far more
efficient.

Drop the (IMO useless) log message.  MSR_PAT only gets altered on boot, and a
bad value will be entirely evident in the ensuing #GP backtrace.
