x86/mm/mtrr: Enhance MTRR checks in kernel mapping helpers

This patch adds the argument 'uniform' to mtrr_type_lookup(),
which gets set to 1 when a given range is covered uniformly by
MTRRs, i.e. the range is fully covered by a single MTRR entry or
the default type.

Change pud_set_huge() and pmd_set_huge() to honor the 'uniform'
flag to see if it is safe to create a huge page mapping in the
range.

This allows them to create a huge page mapping in a range
covered by a single MTRR entry of any memory type. It also
detects a non-optimal request properly. They continue to check
with the WB type since it does not effectively change the
uniform mapping even if a request spans multiple MTRR entries.

pmd_set_huge() logs a warning message to a non-optimal request
so that driver writers will be aware of such a case. Drivers
should make a mapping request aligned to a single MTRR entry
when the range is covered by MTRRs.
