x86/microcode/amd: Do not overwrite final patch levels
A certain number of patch levels of applied microcode should not be overwritten by the microcode loader, otherwise bad things will happen. Check those and abort update if the current core has one of those final patch levels applied by the BIOS. 32-bit needs special handling, of course. See https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=913996 for more info.
