Subject: [PATCH] x86/microcode/intel: make pointer intel_ucode_patch static

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The pointer intel_ucode_patch does not need to be in global scope,
so make it static.

Cleans up sparse warning:
"symbol 'intel_ucode_patch' was not declared. Should it be static?"
