Subject: [PATCH] x86/microcode, cpuhotplug: move microcode hotplug callback after cpu teardown

Fix the following BUG:

After CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU callback was invoked, the context will become
atomic and IRQ disabled, while mc_cpu_down_prep will called
kernfs_find_and_get_ns which will try to acquire mutext lock which may
sleep.

Adjust CPUHP_AP_MICROCODE_LOADER callback function run before
CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU to fix this bug.
