Yeah, that was too simple. Here's the real fix, please apply ontop.

Thanks and sorry for the fumble.

Subject: [PATCH] x86, microcode, intel: Fish out the stashed microcode for the BSP

I'm such a moron! The simple solution of saving the BSP patch for
use on resume was too simple (and wrong!), hint: sizeof(struct
microcode_intel).

What needs to be done instead is to fish out the microcode patch we have
stashed previously and apply that on the BSP in case the late loader
hasn't been utilized.

So do that instead.
