x86/ucode: Don't use microcode_update_cpu() in early_microcode_load()

There are two callers of microcode_update_cpu(), and because one passes NULL
and one doesn't, there are effectively two disjoint pieces of logic wrapped in
a single function.

early_microcode_load()'s use skips all the microcode_cache handling, and is
just a simple patch application.

Use ucode_ops.apply_microcode() directly, and remove the non-cache path from
microcode_update_cpu().  This skips a redundant collect_cpu_info()
call (performed in early_microcode_init(), marginally earlier), and avoids
holding microcode_mutex when we're not interacting with microcode_cache at
all.

No functional change.
