x86/microcode/intel: Clear patch pointer before jettisoning the initrd
During early boot, load_ucode_intel_ap() uses __load_ucode_intel() to obtain a pointer to the relevant microcode patch (embedded in the initrd), and stores this value in 'intel_ucode_patch' to speed up the microcode patch application for subsequent CPUs. On resuming from suspend-to-RAM, however, load_ucode_ap() calls load_ucode_intel_ap() for each non-boot-CPU. By then the initramfs is long gone so the pointer stored in 'intel_ucode_patch' no longer points to a valid microcode patch. Clear that pointer so that we effectively fall back to the CPU hotplug notifier callbacks to update the microcode.
