x86/microcode/intel: Add a helper which gives the microcode revision
commit 4167709b upstream. Since on Intel we're required to do CPUID(1) first, before reading the microcode revision MSR, let's add a special helper which does the required steps so that we don't forget to do them next time, when we want to read the microcode revision.
