After setting mtrr_enabled to true, get_mtrr_state() reads
MSR_MTRRdefType and sets 'mtrr_state.enabled', which also indicates if
MTRRs are enabled or not on the system. So, potentially, we could have
a case that mtrr_enabled is set to true, but mtrr_state.enabled is set
to disabled when MTRRs are disabled by BIOS.

ps.
I recently cleaned up this part of the MTRR code in the patch below,
which is currently available in the -mm & -next trees.
