x86: change MTRR_SANITIZER to def_bool y
This option has been added in v2.6.26 as a default-disabled
feature and went through several revisions since then.
The feature fixes a wide range of MTRR setup problems that BIOSes
leave us with: slow system, slow Xorg, slow system when adding lots
of RAM, etc., so we want to enable it by default for v2.6.28.
