Subject: [PATCH 07/15] KVM: MTRR: improve kvm_mtrr_get_guest_memory_type

 - kvm_mtrr_get_guest_memory_type() only checks one page in MTRRs so that
   it's unnecessary to check to see if the range is partially covered in
   MTRR

 - optimize the check of overlap memory type and add some comments to explain
   the precedence
