[patch V4 08/30] x86/microcode/intel: Save the microcode only after a successful late-load

[Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

There are situations where the late microcode is loaded into memory, but is
not applied:

  1) The rendezvouz fails
  2) The microcode is rejected by the CPUs

If any of this happens then the pointer which was updated at firmware load
time is stale and subsequent CPU hotplug operations either fail to update
or create inconsistent microcode state.

Save the loaded microcode in a separate pointer from with the late load is
attempted and when successful, update the hotplug pointer accordingly via a
new microcode_ops callback.

Remove the pointless fallback in the loader to a microcode pointer which is
never populated.
