[patch 20/30] x86/microcode: Sanitize __wait_for_cpus()

[Thomas Gleixner]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The code is too complicated for no reason:

 - The return value is pointless as this is a strict boolean.

 - It's way simpler to count down from num_online_cpus() and check for
   zero.

  - The timeout argument is pointless as this is always one second.

  - Touching the NMI watchdog every 100ns does not make any sense, neither
    does checking every 100ns. This is really not a hotpath operation.

Preload the atomic counter with the number of online CPUs and simplify the
whole timeout logic. Delay for one microsecond and touch the NMI watchdog
once per millisecond.
