x86/microcode/intel: Check microcode revision before updating sibling threads

commit c182d2b7d0ca48e0d6ff16f7d883161238c447ed upstream.

After updating microcode on one of the threads of a core, the other
thread sibling automatically gets the update since the microcode
resources on a hyperthreaded core are shared between the two threads.

Check the microcode revision on the CPU before performing a microcode
update and thus save us the WRMSR 0x79 because it is a particularly
expensive operation.
