Microcode checksum verification should be done using unsigned 32-bit
values otherwise the calculation overflow results in undefined
behaviour.
This is also nicely documented in the SDM, section "Microcode Update
Checksum":
"To check for a corrupt microcode update, software must perform a
unsigned DWORD (32-bit) checksum of the microcode update. Even though
some fields are signed, the checksum procedure treats all DWORDs as
unsigned. Microcode updates with a header version equal to 00000001H
must sum all DWORDs that comprise the microcode update. A valid
checksum check will yield a value of 00000000H."
but for some reason the code has been using ints from the very
beginning.
In practice, this bug possibly manifested itself only when doing the
microcode data checksum - apparently, currently shipped Intel microcode
doesn't have an extended signature table for which we do checksum
verification too.

It is a one-liner for checking microcode header revisions. On top of
that, it can be used wrong as it was the case in _save_mc(). Get rid of
it.

... arguments list so that it comes more natural for those functions to
have the signature, processor flags and revision together, before the
rest of the args.
No functionality change.

We've grown a bunch of microcode loader files all prefixed with
"microcode_". They should be under cpu/ because this is strictly
CPU-related functionality so do that and drop the prefix since they're
in their own directory now which gives that prefix. :)
While at it, drop MICROCODE_INTEL_LIB config item and stash the
functionality under CONFIG_MICROCODE_INTEL as it was its only user.
