[PATCH 4.14 23/43] x86/microcode: Fix the microcode load on CPU hotplug for real

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

commit 5423f5ce5ca410b3646f355279e4e937d452e622 upstream.

A recent change moved the microcode loader hotplug callback into the early
startup phase which is running with interrupts disabled. It missed that
the callbacks invoke sysfs functions which might sleep causing nice 'might
sleep' splats with proper debugging enabled.

Split the callbacks and only load the microcode in the early startup phase
and move the sysfs handling back into the later threaded and preemptible
bringup phase where it was before.
