4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Borislav Petkov bp@suse.de
commit 84749d83758af6576552046b215b9b7f37f9556b upstream.
save_mc_for_early() was a no-op on !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU but the generic_load_microcode() path saves the microcode patches it has found into the cache of patches which is used for late loading too. Regardless of whether CPU hotplug is used or not.
Make the saving unconditional so that late loading can find the proper patch.
