Subject: x86/microcode: Allow late microcode loading with SMT disabled
Git-commit: 07d981ad4cf1e78361c6db1c28ee5ba105f96cc1
Patch-mainline: v4.19-rc1
References: bsc#1110006

The kernel unnecessarily prevents late microcode loading when SMT is
disabled.  It should be safe to allow it if all the primary threads are
online.
