To create a microcode patch from a vendor-specific update,
allocate_microcode_patch() copied everything from the update.
It is not efficient. Essentially, we just need to go through
ucodes in the blob, find the one with the newest revision and
install it into the microcode_patch. In the process, buffers
like mc_amd, equiv_cpu_table (on AMD side), and mc (on Intel
side) can be reused. microcode_patch now is allocated after
it is sure that there is a matching ucode.

Changes in v11:
 - correct parameter type issues of get_next_ucode_from_buffer

Changes in v10:
 - avoid unnecessary type casting
   * introduce compare_header on AMD side
   * specify the type of the first parameter of get_next_ucode_from_buffer()
     on Intel side

Changes in v9:
 - new
