PATCH v3 1/1 x86/mtrr: Check if fixed MTRRs exist before saving them

MTRRs have a obsolete fixed variant for fine grained
caching control of the 640K-1MB region. This fixed variant has a separate capability bit in the MTRR capability MSR. The MTRR code checks this capability bit before trying to access the fixed MTRR MSRs, except in one place. This patch fixes this place to also check the capability.

Otherwise there will be a WARN_ON when the respective MSRS don't exist.

Fixes 2b1f6278d77c ("[PATCH] x86: Save the MTRRs of the BSP before booting an AP")
