+Subject: x86/microcode: Do not exit early from __reload_late()
+
+Vitezslav reported a case where the
+
+ "Timeout during microcode update!"
+
+panic would hit. After a deeper look, it turned out that his .config had
+CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU disabled which practically made save_mc_for_early() a
+no-op.
+
+When that happened, the discovered microcode patch wasn't saved into the
+cache and the late loading path wouldn't find any.
+
+This, then, lead to early exit from __reload_late() and thus CPUs waiting
+until the timeout is reached, leading to the panic.
+
+In hindsight, that function should have been written so it does not return
+before the post-synchronization. Oh well, I know better now...
+
+Fixes: bb8c13d61a62 ("x86/microcode: Fix CPU synchronization routine")
