Subject: [PATCH] x86/microcode: Remove useless code after early microcode support added
Date:   Mon,  1 Apr 2019 16:46:52 +0800
Message-Id: <1554108412-22229-1-git-send-email-zhenzhong.duan@oracle.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

After early microcode update was added, microcode couldn't be configured
as a module, microcode update happens at early bootup and cpu hotplug
stage. This made the microcode update code in module loading stage
useless.

This patch remove the useless code.
