x86/microcode: Fix again accessing initrd after having been freed
Commit 24c2503 ("x86/microcode: Do not access the initrd after it has been freed") fixed attempts to access initrd from the microcode loader after it has been freed. However, a similar KASAN warning was reported (stack trace edited): smpboot: Booting Node 0 Processor 1 APIC 0x11 ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in find_cpio_data+0x9b5/0xa50 Read of size 1 at addr ffff880035ffd000 by task swapper/1/0 CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 4.14.8-slack #7 Hardware name: System manufacturer System Product Name/A88X-PLUS, BIOS 3003 03/10/2016 Call Trace: dump_stack print_address_description kasan_report ? find_cpio_data __asan_report_load1_noabort find_cpio_data find_microcode_in_initrd __load_ucode_amd load_ucode_amd_ap load_ucode_ap After some investigation, it turned out that a merge was done using the wrong side to resolve, leading to picking up the previous state, before the 24c2503 fix. Therefore the Fixes tag below contains a merge commit. Revert the mismerge by catching the save_microcode_in_initrd_amd() retval and thus letting the function exit with the last return statement so that initrd_gone can be set to true.
