[patch V4 07/30] x86/microcode/intel: Simplify early loading

[Thomas Gleixner]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The early loading code is overly complicated:

  - It scans the builtin/initrd for microcode not only on the BSP, but also
    on all APs during early boot and then later in the boot process it
    scans again to duplicate and save the microcode before initrd goes away.

    That's a pointless exercise because this can be simply done before
    bringing up the APs when the memory allocator is up and running.

 - Saving the microcode from within the scan loop is completely
   non-obvious and a left over of the microcode cache.

   This can be done at the call site now which makes it obvious.

Rework the code so that only the BSP scans the builtin/initrd microcode
once during early boot and save it away in an early initcall for later
use.
