Subject: [PATCH 02/13] x86/microcode/intel: Do the mc_saved_src NULL check first

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de>

... and only then deref it. Also, shorten some variable names and rename
others so as to diminish the ubiquitous presence of the "mc_" prefix
everywhere and make it a bit more readable.
