Torsten Kaiser 8c6b79bb12 x86, microcode, AMD: Make cpu_has_amd_erratum() use the correct struct cpuinfo_x86
cpu_has_amd_erratum() is buggy, because it uses the per-cpu cpu_info
before it is filled by smp_store_boot_cpu_info() / smp_store_cpu_info().

If early microcode loading is enabled its collect_cpu_info_amd_early()
will fill ->x86 and so the fallback to boot_cpu_data is not used. But
->x86_vendor was not filled and is still X86_VENDOR_INTEL resulting in
no errata fixes getting applied and my system hangs on boot.

Using cpu_info in cpu_has_amd_erratum() is wrong anyway: its only
caller init_amd() will have a struct cpuinfo_x86 as parameter and the
set_cpu_bug() that is controlled by cpu_has_amd_erratum() also only uses
that struct.

So pass the struct cpuinfo_x86 from init_amd() to cpu_has_amd_erratum()
and the broken fallback can be dropped.

[ Boris: Drop WARN_ON() since we're called only from init_amd() ]
