[PATCH v2 2/6] x86: fsp: Use mtrr_set_next_var() for graphics memory

From: Bin Meng <bmeng.cn at gmail.com>

At present this uses mtrr_add_request() & mtrr_commit() combination
to program the MTRR for graphics memory. This usage has two major
issues as below:

- mtrr_commit() will re-initialize all MTRR registers from index 0,
  using the settings previously added by mtrr_add_request() and saved
  in gd->arch.mtrr_req[], which won't cause any issue but is unnecessary
- The way such combination works is based on the assumption that U-Boot
  has full control with MTRR programming (e.g.: U-Boot without any blob
  that does all low-level initialization on its own, or using FSP2 which
  does not touch MTRR), but this is not the case with FSP. FSP programs
  some MTRRs during its execution but U-Boot does not have the settings
  saved in gd->arch.mtrr_req[] and when doing mtrr_commit() it will
  corrupt what was already programmed previously.

Correct this to use mtrr_set_next_var() instead.
