x86, amd, MTRR: remove k8_enable_fixed_iorrs()

AMD64 defines two special bits (bit 3 and 4) RdMem and WrMem in fixed
MTRR type. Their values are supposed to be 0 after BIOS hands the
control to OS according to AMD BKDG. Unless OS specificially turn them
on, they are kept 0 all the time. As a result, k8_enable_fixed_iorrs()
is unnecessary and removed from upstream kernel (see
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11425/). This patch does the same
thing.
