x86, microcode: Fix sysfs warning during module unload on unsupported CPUs
Loading the microcode driver on an unsupported CPU and subsequently
unloading the driver causes
WARNING: at fs/sysfs/group.c:138 mc_device_remove+0x5f/0x70 [microcode]()
Hardware name: 01972NG
sysfs group ffffffffa00013d0 not found for kobject 'cpu0'

on recent kernels.
This is due to commit 8a25a2fd126c ("cpu: convert 'cpu' and
'machinecheck' sysdev_class to a regular subsystem") which renders
commit 6c53cbfced04 ("x86, microcode: Correct sysdev_add error path")
useless.
See http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=133416246406478
Avoid above warning by restoring the old driver behaviour before
6c53cbfced04 ("x86, microcode: Correct sysdev_add error path").
