x86: mtrr cleanup for converting continuous to discrete - auto detect v4

Loop through mtrr chunk_size and gran_size from 1M to 2G to find out
the optimal value so user does not need to add mtrr_chunk_size and
mtrr_gran_size to the kernel command line.

If optimal value is not found, print out all list to help select less
optimal value.

Add mtrr_spare_reg_nr= so user could set 2 instead of 1, if the card
need more entries.

v2: find the one with more spare entries
v3: fix hole_basek offset
v4: tight the compare between range and range_new
    loop stop with 4g
