x86/amd: Stop updating the Zenbleed mitigation dynamically
This was potentially helpful when the chickenbit was the only mitigation and
microcode had not been released, but that was two years ago.
Zenbleed microcode has been avaialble since December 2023, and the
subsequent
Entrysign signature vulnerability means that firmware updates block
OS-loading
and more OS-loadable microcode will be produced for Zen2.
i.e. the Zenbleed fix is not going to appear at runtime these days.
No practical change.
