x86/microcode: Clarify the late load logic
reload_store() is way too complicated. Split the inner workings out and
make the following enhancements:
- Taint the kernel only when the microcode was actually updated. If. e.g.
the rendezvous fails, then nothing happened and there is no reason for
tainting.
- Return useful error codes
