x86/microcode/intel: Rip out mixed stepping support for Intel CPUs

Mixed steppings aren't supported on Intel CPUs. Only one microcode patch
is required for the entire system. The caching of microcode blobs which
match the family and model is therefore pointless and in fact is
dysfunctional as CPU hotplug updates use only a single microcode blob,
i.e. the one where *intel_ucode_patch points to.

Remove the microcode cache and make it an AMD local feature.

[ tglx: Save only at the end. Otherwise random microcode ends up in the
pointer for early loading ]
