x86/microcode/intel: Use correct buffer size for saving microcode data
In generic_load_microcode(), curr_mc_size is the size of the last allocated buffer and since we have this performance "optimization" there to vmalloc a new buffer only when the current one is bigger, curr_mc_size ends up becoming the size of the biggest buffer we've seen so far. However, we end up saving the microcode patch which matches our CPU and its size is not curr_mc_size but the respective mc_size during the iteration while we're staring at it. So save that mc_size into a separate variable and use it to store the previously found microcode buffer. Without this fix, we could get oops like this: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffc9000e30f000 IP: __memcpy+0x12/0x20 ...
