Subject: [PATCH 3.16 179/328] x86/microcode: Update the new microcode
 revision unconditionally

3.16.62-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Filippo Sironi <sironi@...zon.de>

commit 8da38ebaad23fe1b0c4a205438676f6356607cfc upstream.

Handle the case where microcode gets loaded on the BSP's hyperthread
sibling first and the boot_cpu_data's microcode revision doesn't get
updated because of early exit due to the siblings sharing a microcode
engine.

For that, simply write the updated revision on all CPUs unconditionally.

[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
 - Keep returning 0 on success
 - Adjust context]
