x86/microcode: Synchronize late microcode loading
Original idea by Ashok, completely rewritten by Borislav.
Before you read any further: the early loading method is still the
preferred one and you should always do that. The following patch is
improving the late loading mechanism for long running jobs and cloud use
cases.
Gather all cores and serialize the microcode update on them by doing it
one-by-one to make the late update process as reliable as possible and
avoid potential issues caused by the microcode update.

Conflicts --- quite a few. Notable ones:
* We don't have microcode cache and so call request_microcode_fw() for
each CPU
* No need to get/put_online_cpus() --- they are part of stop_machine()
* No stop_machine_cpuslocked() in uek4 but uek4's version of
stop_machine() prevents CPU hotplug.
* uek4's has fewer result codes for microcode operations and thus error
handling is slightly different.
