Subject: [PATCH 4.14 095/138] x86/microcode: Attempt late loading only when new microcode is present

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

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

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

commit 2613f36ed965d0e5a595a1d931fd3b480e82d6fd upstream.

Return UCODE_NEW from the scanning functions to denote that new microcode
was found and only then attempt the expensive synchronization dance.
