x86/microcode: Fix suspend to RAM with builtin microcode

Usually, after we have found the proper microcode blob for the current
machine, we stash it away for later use with save_microcode_in_initrd().

However, with builtin microcode which doesn't come from the initrd, we
don't call that function because CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=n and even if
set, we don't have a valid initrd.

In order to fix this, let's make save_microcode_in_initrd() an
fs_initcall which runs before rootfs_initcall() as this was the time it
was called previously through:

 rootfs_initcall(populate_rootfs)
 |-> free_initrd()
     |-> free_initrd_mem()
         |-> save_microcode_in_initrd()

Also, we make it run independently from initrd functionality being
present or not.

And since it is called in the microcode loader only now, we can also
make it static.
