x86/microcode: Do not access the initrd after it has been freed
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When we look for microcode blobs, we first try builtin and if that
doesn't succeed, we fallback to the initrd supplied to the kernel.

However, at some point doing boot, that initrd gets jettisoned and we
shouldn't access it anymore. But we do, as the below KASAN report shows.
That's because find_microcode_in_initrd() doesn't check whether the
initrd is still valid or not.

So do that.
