    x86/ucode: Drop ops->free_patch()
    
    With the newly cleaned up vendor logic, each struct microcode_patch is a
    trivial object in memory with no dependent allocations.
    
    This is unlikely to change moving forwards, and function pointers are
    expensive in the days of retpoline.  Move the responsibility to xfree() back
    to common code.  If the need does arise in the future, we can consider
    reintroducing the hook.
