x86/microcode: use-after-free after cpu offline/online

From: Andrey Ryabinin

On 4.10-rc5
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

triggers use-after-free (probably caused by 06b8534cb72 "x86/microcode: Rework microcode loading").

__load_ucode_intel() accesses initrd which is obviously gone at this point:
