x86/microcode: Fix again accessing initrd after having been freed
Commit 24c2503 ("x86/microcode: Do not access the initrd after it has
been freed") fixed attempts to access initrd from the microcode loader
after it has been freed. However, a similar KASAN warning was reported
(stack trace edited):
smpboot: Booting Node 0 Processor 1 APIC 0x11

After some investigation, it turned out that a merge was done using the
wrong side to resolve, leading to picking up the previous state, before
the 24c2503 fix. Therefore the Fixes tag below contains a merge
commit.
Revert the mismerge by catching the save_microcode_in_initrd_amd()
retval and thus letting the function exit with the last return statement
so that initrd_gone can be set to true.
Fixes: f26483e ("Merge branch 'x86/urgent' into x86/microcode, to resolve conflicts")
