From: Borislav Petkov <[email protected]>
The commit in Fixes: added the new define UCODE_NEW to denote that an
update should happen only when newer microcode (than installed on the
system) has been found.
But it missed adjusting that for the old /dev/cpu/microcode loading
interface. Fix it.
Fixes: 2613f36ed965 ("x86/microcode: Attempt late loading only when new
microcode is present")
