Subject: [PATCH 4.14 016/126] x86/microcode: Make sure boot_cpu_data.microcode is up-to-date

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

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

From: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@...hat.com>

commit 370a132bb2227ff76278f98370e0e701d86ff752 upstream.

When preparing an MCE record for logging, boot_cpu_data.microcode is used
to read out the microcode revision on the box.

However, on systems where late microcode update has happened, the microcode
revision output in a MCE log record is wrong because
boot_cpu_data.microcode is not updated when the microcode gets updated.

But, the microcode revision saved in boot_cpu_data's microcode member
should be kept up-to-date, regardless, for consistency.

Make it so.
