Subject: [PATCH 05/16] x86/microcode/AMD: Cleanup verify_patch_size() more

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

Rename the variable which contains the patch size read out from the
section header to sh_psize for better differentiation of all the "sizes"
in that function.

Also, improve the comment above it.

No functional changes.
