x86/microcode/intel: Save pointer to ucode patch for early AP loading
Normally, when the initrd is gone, we can't search it for microcode
blobs to apply anymore. For that we need to stash away the patch in our
own storage.
And save_microcode_in_initrd_intel() looks like the proper place to
do that from. So in order for early loading to work, invalidate the
intel_ucode_patch pointer to the patch *before* scanning the initrd one
last time.
If the scanning code finds a microcode patch, it will assign that
pointer again, this time with our own storage's address.
This way, early microcode application during resume-from-RAM works too,
even after the initrd is long gone.
