Revert "x86: ucode-amd: Load ucode-patches once ..."

Commit d1c84f79a6
leads to a regression when microcode_amd.c is compiled into the kernel.
It causes a big boot delay because the firmware is not available.
See http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=126267290920060

It also renders the reload sysfs attribute useless.
Fixing this is too intrusive for an -rc5 kernel.

Thus I'd like to restore the microcode loading behaviour of kernel
2.6.32.
