[patch V2 33/37] x86/microcode: Protect against instrumentation

[Thomas Gleixner]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The wait for control loop in which the siblings are waiting for the
microcode update on the primary thread must be protected against
instrumentation as instrumentation can end up in #INT3, #DB or #PF, which
then returns with IRET. That IRET reenables NMI which is the opposite of
what the NMI rendezvouz is trying to achieve.
