x86/microcode: Add local mutex to fix physical CPU hot-add deadlock
This can easily be triggered if a new CPU is added (via
ACPI hotplug mechanism) and from user-space you do:
   echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/online
(or wait for UDEV to do it) on a newly appeared physical CPU.
The deadlock is that the "store_online" in drivers/base/cpu.c
takes the cpu_hotplug_driver_lock() lock, then calls "cpu_up".
"cpu_up" eventually ends up calling "save_mc_for_early"
which also takes the cpu_hotplug_driver_lock() lock.
And here is that lockdep thinks of it:
 smpboot: Stack at about ffff880075c39f44
 smpboot: CPU3: has booted.
 microcode: CPU3 sig=0x206a7, pf=0x2, revision=0x25

 sh/2487 is trying to acquire lock:
  (x86_cpu_hotplug_driver_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81075512>] cpu_hotplug_driver_lock+0x12/0x20
 but task is already holding lock:
  (x86_cpu_hotplug_driver_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81075512>] cpu_hotplug_driver_lock+0x12/0x20
 other info that might help us debug this:
  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

   lock(x86_cpu_hotplug_driver_mutex);
