[PATCH 06/16] x86/mtrr: use new match_string() helper + add gaps == minor fix

This change is a bit more than cosmetic.

It replaces 2 values in mtrr_strings with NULL. Previously, they were
defined as "?", which is not great because you could technically pass "?",
and you would get value 2.
It's not sure whether that was intended (likely it wasn't), but this fixes
that.
