[PATCH v6 4/7] x86/microcode/intel: Define staging state struct

["Chang S. Bae" <chang.seok.bae@intel.com>]

Define staging_state struct to simplify function prototypes by
consolidating relevant data, instead of passing multiple local variables.

V5 -> V6:
* Trim the changelog (Boris)
* Drop the state field
* Collect review tag

V4 -> V5: Drop the ucode_ptr field (Dave)
V1 -> V2: New patch

Prior to V2, local variables were used to track state values, with the
intention of improving readability by explicitly passing them between
functions. However, given feedback, introducing a dedicated data
structure looks to provide a benefit by simplifying the main loop.
