Subject: [4.15 & 4.14 stable 02/12] x86/CPU: Add a microcode loader callback

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

commit 1008c52c09dcb23d93f8e0ea83a6246265d2cce0 upstream

Add a callback function which the microcode loader calls when microcode
has been updated to a newer revision. Do the callback only when no error
was encountered during loading.
