x86/microcode: Dont abuse the TLB-flush interface
Commit:
ec400ddeff20 ("x86/microcode_intel_early.c: Early update ucode on Intel's CPU")
... grubbed into tlbflush internals without coherent explanation.
Since it says its a precaution and the SDM doesn't mention anything like
this, take it out back.
