x86, microcode: Limit the microcode reloading to 64-bit for now
First, there was this: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88001 The problem there was that microcode patches are not being reapplied after suspend-to-ram. It was important to reapply them, though, because of for example Haswell's TSX erratum which disabled TSX instructions with a microcode patch. A simple fix was fb86b97300d9 ("x86, microcode: Update BSPs microcode on resume") but, as it is often the case, simple fixes are too simple. This one causes 32-bit resume to fail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88391 Properly fixing this would require more involved changes for which it is too late now, right before the merge window. Thus, limit this to 64-bit only temporarily.
