[1/3] x86/ucode: Rework Intel's microcode_update_match()

Commit Message

Andrew Cooper Nov. 8, 2024, 2:42 p.m. UTC

This function is overloaded, creating complexity; 3 of 4 callers already only
want it for it's "applicable to this CPU or not" answer, and handle revision
calculations separately.

Change it to be microcode_fits_cpu(), returning a simple boolean.

Notably, this removes a path where cpu_request_microcode() inspects
currently-loaded microcode revision, just to discard the answer.

No functional change.
