x86/microcode: Dont abuse the TLB-flush interface

Commit:

  ec400ddeff20 ("x86/microcode_intel_early.c: Early update ucode on Intel's CPU")

... grubbed into tlbflush internals without coherent explanation.

Since it says its a precaution and the SDM doesn't mention anything like
this, take it out back.
