x86/microcode: Handle "offline" CPUs correctly
Offline CPUs need to be parked in a safe loop when microcode update is
in progress on the primary CPU. Currently, offline CPUs are parked in
mwait_play_dead(), and for Intel CPUs, its not a safe instruction,
because the MWAIT instruction can be patched in the new microcode update
that can cause instability.
- Add a new microcode state 'UCODE_OFFLINE' to report status on per-CPU
basis.
- Force NMI on the offline CPUs.
Wake up offline CPUs while the update is in progress and then return
them back to mwait_play_dead() after microcode update is complete.
