Subject: [Part 2 v2[cleanup] 1/4] x86/microcode: Taint kernel only if microcode loading was successful
Date:   Sat, 21 Jan 2023 13:35:09 -0800

Currently when late loading is aborted due to check_online_cpu(), kernel
still ends up tainting the kernel.

Taint only when microcode loading was successful.
