microcode_ctrl

I know "ucode" is shorter but we already call everything new-er
"microcode_" and this'll cause confusion.

You could do

static DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct microcode_ctrl, ucode_ctrl);

so that the naming is different too.

No need for "ucode_" prefixes to static functions.

So the only value this function returns is 0 now.
stop_machine_cpuslocked() still does pay attention at ret so I guess it
should return non-null/negative on error or so?

Align vertically.

You don't need "Microcode" in those strings - the pr_info has already
"microcode:" as prefix.
