Subject: [PATCH] x86/CPU/AMD: Only apply Zenbleed fix for Zen2 during late microcode load

A problem was introduced with f69759b ("x86/CPU/AMD: Move Zenbleed check to
the Zen2 init function") where a bit in the DE_CFG MSR is getting set after
a microcode late load.

The problem is that the microcode late load path calls into
amd_check_microcode and subsequently zen2_zenbleed_check. Since the patch
removes the cpu_has_amd_erratum check from zen2_zenbleed_check, this will
cause all non-Zen2 cpus to go through the function and set the bit in the
DE_CFG MSR.

Call into the zenbleed fix path on Zen2 cpus only.

Fixes: f69759be251d ("x86/CPU/AMD: Move Zenbleed check to the Zen2 init function")
