x86/microcode/intel: Improve microcode patches saving flow Avoid potentially dereferencing a NULL pointer when saving a microcode patch for early loading on the application processors. While at it, drop the IS_ERR() checking in favor of simpler, NULL-ptr checks which are sufficient and rename __alloc_microcode_buf() to memdup_patch() to more precisely denote what it does. No functionality change.
