[PATCH] Fix microcode-related suspend problem

Fix the regression resulting from the recent change of suspend code
ordering that causes systems based on Intel x86 CPUs using the microcode
driver to hang during the resume.

The problem occurs since the microcode driver uses request_firmware() in
its CPU hotplug notifier, which is called after tasks has been frozen and
hangs.  It can be fixed by telling the microcode driver to use the
microcode stored in memory during the resume instead of trying to load it
from disk.
