x86: microcode: use smp_call_function_single instead of set_cpus_allowed, cleanup of synchronization logic * Solve issues described in 6f66cbc6 in a way that doesn't resort to set_cpus_allowed(); * in fact, only collect_cpu_info and apply_microcode callbacks must run on a target cpu, others will do just fine on any other. smp_call_function_single() (as suggested by Ingo) is used to run these callbacks on a target cpu. * cleanup of synchronization logic of the 'microcode_core' part The generic 'microcode_core' part guarantees that only a single cpu (be it a full-fledged cpu, one of the cores or HT) is being updated at any particular moment of time. In general, there is no need for any additional sync. mechanism in arch-specific parts (the patch removes existing spinlocks). See also the "Synchronization" section in microcode_core.c. * return -EINVAL instead of -1 (which is translated into -EPERM) in microcode_write(), reload_cpu() and mc_sysdev_add(). Other suggestions for an error code? * use 'enum ucode_state' as return value of request_microcode_{fw, user} to gain more flexibility by distinguishing between real error cases and situations when an appropriate ucode was not found (which is not an error per-se). * some minor cleanups Thanks a lot to Hugh Dickins for review/suggestions/testing!
