[PATCH v6 09/16] x86/mtrr: allocate mtrr_value array dynamically

[Juergen Gross]

The mtrr_value[] array is a static variable, which is used only in a
few configurations. Consuming 6kB is ridiculous for this case,
especially as the array doesn't need to be that large and it can easily
be allocated dynamically.

V5:
- check for allocation failure (Kai Huang, Boris Petkov)
- add #ifdef
V6:
- rebase
