Subject: [PATCH 4.14 088/138] x86/microcode: Get rid of struct apply_microcode_ctx

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

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

commit 854857f5944c59a881ff607b37ed9ed41d031a3b upstream.

It is a useless remnant from earlier times. Use the ucode_state enum
directly.

No functional change.
