[PATCH v3 3/6] x86/microcode/intel: Define staging state struct

[Chang S. Bae]

To facilitate a structured staging handler, a set of functions will be
introduced. Define staging_state struct to simplify function prototypes
by consolidating relevant data, instead of passing multiple local
variables.

V2 -> V3: No change
V1 -> V2: New patch

Prior to V2, local variables were used to track state values, with the
intention of improving readability by explicitly passing them between
functions. However, given feedbacks, introducing a dedicated data
structure looks to provide a benefit by simplifying the main loop.
