4.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Borislav Petkov <b...@suse.de>
commit 4b703305d98bf7350d4b2953ee39a3aa2eeb1778 upstream.
Usually, after we have found the proper microcode blob for the current
machine, we stash it away for later use with save_microcode_in_initrd().
However, with builtin microcode which doesn't come from the initrd, we
don't call that function because CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=n and even if
set, we don't have a valid initrd.
In order to fix this, let's make save_microcode_in_initrd() an
fs_initcall which runs before rootfs_initcall() as this was the time it
was called previously through:
rootfs_initcall(populate_rootfs)
|-> free_initrd()
|-> free_initrd_mem()
|-> save_microcode_in_initrd()
Also, we make it run independently from initrd functionality being
present or not.
And since it is called in the microcode loader only now, we can also
make it static.
