x86: microcode: use smp_call_function_single instead of set_cpus_allowed, cleanup of synchronization logic

* Solve issues described in 6f66cbc63081fd70e3191b4dbb796746780e5ae1
  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!
