[PATCH 4/4] x86/ucode: Use altcall, and __initdata_cf_clobber

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Microcode loading is not a fastpath, but there are control flow security
benefits from using altcall()'s hardening side effect.

Convert the existing microcode_ops pointer into a __read_mostly structure, and
move {amd,intel}_ucode_ops into __initdata_cf_clobber.
