x86/mm/pat: Create fixed width output in...


x86/mm/pat: Create fixed width output in /sys/kernel/debug/x86/pat_memtype_list, similar to the E820 debug printouts

The advantage is that it's easier to parse at a glance - and the tree is ordered
by start address, which is now reflected in putting the start address in the first
column.

This is also now similar to how we print e820 entries:

  BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000bafda000-0x00000000bb3d3fff] usable
  BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000bb3d4000-0x00000000bdd2efff] reserved
  BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000bdd2f000-0x00000000bddccfff] ACPI NVS
  BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000bddcd000-0x00000000bdea0fff] ACPI data
  BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000bdea1000-0x00000000bdf2efff] ACPI NVS

Since this is a debugfs file not used by tools there's no known ABI dependencies.
