As set_memory_wb() calls set_page_memtype() with -1, _PGMT_DEFAULT is
solely used for tracking the WB type. _PGMT_WB is defined but unused.
Hence, this patch renames _PGMT_DEFAULT to _PGMT_WB to clarify its
usage, and releases the slot used by _PGMT_WB before. As a result,
set_memory_wb() is changed to call set_page_memtype() with _PGMT_WB,
and set_page_memtype() handles any undefined type as a bug.
This patch then defines _PGMT_WT to the released slot. This enables
set_page_memtype() to track the WT type.
