[PATCH 2/2] x86/microcode: Update the new microcode revision unconditionally

From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Wed Aug 01 2018 - 11:45:30 EST


From: Filippo Sironi <sironi@xxxxxxxxx>

Handle the case where microcode gets loaded on the BSP's hyperthread
sibling first and the boot_cpu_data's microcode revision doesn't get
updated because of early exit due to the siblings sharing a microcode
engine.

For that, simply write the updated revision on all CPUs unconditionally.
