    x86/boot: Fix microcode module handling during PVH boot
    
    As detailed in commit 0fe607b2a144 ("x86/boot: Fix PVH boot during boot_info
    transition period"), the use of __va(mbi->mods_addr) constitutes a
    use-after-free on the PVH boot path.
    
    This pattern has been in use since before PVH support was added.  Inside a 
PVH
    VM, it will go unnoticed as long as the microcode container parser doesn't
    choke on the random data it finds.
    
    The use within early_microcode_init() happens to be safe because it's prior 
to
    move_xen().  microcode_init_cache() is after move_xen(), and therefore 
unsafe.
    
    Plumb the boot_info pointer down, replacing module_map and mbi.  
Importantly,
    bi->mods[].mod is a safe way to access the module list during PVH boot.
    
    Note: microcode_scan_module() is still bogusly stashing a bootstrap_map()'d
          pointer in ucode_blob.data, which constitutes a different
          use-after-free, and only works in general because of a second bug.  
This
          is unrelated to PVH, and needs untangling differently.
