commit 4167709b upstream.

Since on Intel we're required to do CPUID(1) first, before reading
the microcode revision MSR, let's add a special helper which does the
required steps so that we don't forget to do them next time, when we
want to read the microcode revision.

[bwh: Backported to 4.4:
 - Don't touch prev_rev variable in apply_microcode()
 - Keep using sync_core(), which will alway includes the necessary CPUID
 - Adjust context]
