x86/mm/mtrr: Remove kernel internal MTRR interfaces: unexport mtrr_add() and mtrr_del()
The effort to replace mtrr_add() with architecture agnostic
arch_phys_wc_add() is complete, this will ensure write-combining
implementations (PAT on x86) is taken advantage instead of using
MTRR. With the effort done now, hide direct MTRR access for
drivers.
The legacy user-space /proc/mtrr ABI is not affected.
Update x86 documentation on MTRR to reflect the completion of
the phasing out of direct access to MTRR, also add a note on
platform firmware code use of MTRRs based on the obituary
discussion of MTRRs on Linux [0].
