Subject: [PATCH] x86/mtrr: Remove unnecessary strlen() in mtrr_write()

The local variable length already holds the string length after calling
strncpy_from_user(). Using another local variable linlen and calling
strlen() is therefore unnecessary and can be removed. Remove linlen
and strlen() and use length instead.

Compile-tested only.
