x86/microcode/intel: Writeback and invalidate caches before updating microcode
commit
91df9fdf51492aec9fed6b4cbd33160886740f47 upstream.
Updating microcode is less error prone when caches have been flushed and
depending on what exactly the microcode is updating. For example, some
of the issues around certain Broadwell parts can be addressed by doing a
full cache flush.
[ Borislav: Massage it and use native_wbinvd() in both cases. ]
