cpu/x86/mtrr: Error out caching limitation during NEM
Improves user experience by highlighting a possibility of runtime
hangs caused by unsupported WB caching during NEM.
Recently we have encountered an issue on Intel platform and came to
know about the NEM logical limitation where due to cache sets are not
in power_on_two running into a runtime hang upon enabling WB caching.
BUG=b:306677879
BRANCH=firmware-rex-15709.B
TEST=Verified boot on google/ovis and google/rex (including Ovis with
non-power-of-two cache configuration).
