x86/microcode: Remove microcode_mutex
microcode_mutex is only used by reload_store(). It has a comment saying "to synchronize with each other". Other user of this mutex have been removed in the commits 181b6f40 ("x86/microcode: Rip out the OLD_INTERFACE"). b6f86689 ("x86/microcode: Rip out the subsys interface gunk") The sysfs interface does not need additional synchronisation vs itself because it is provided as kernfs_ops::mutex which is acquired in kernfs_fop_write_iter(). Remove the superfluous microcode_mutex.
