[4.15 & 4.14 stable 08/12] x86/microcode/intel: Look into the patch cache first

[Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@intel.com>]

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>

commit d8c3b52c00a05036e0a6b315b4b17921a7b67997 upstream

The cache might contain a newer patch - look in there first.

A follow-on change will make sure newest patches are loaded into the
cache of microcode patches.
