Rasmus Villemoes c332813b51 x86/mm/mtrr: Mark the 'range_new' static variable in mtrr_calc_range_state() as __initdata
'range_new' doesn't seem to be used after init. It is only passed
to memset(), sum_ranges(), memcmp() and x86_get_mtrr_mem_range(), the
latter of which also only passes it on to various *range*
library functions.

So mark it __initdata to free up an extra page after init.

Its contents are wiped at every call to mtrr_calc_range_state(),
so it being static is not about preserving state between calls,
but simply to avoid a 4k+ stack frame. While there, add a
comment explaining this and why it's safe.

We could also mark nr_range_new as __initdata, but since it's
just a single int and also doesn't carry state between calls (it
is unconditionally assigned to before it is read), we might as
well make it an ordinary automatic variable.
