    x86/ucode: Further fixes to identify "ucode already up to date"
    
    When the revision in hardware is newer than anything Xen has to hand,
    'microcode_cache' isn't set up.  Then, `xen-ucode` initiates the update
    because it doesn't know whether the revisions across the system are 
symmetric
    or not.  This involves the patch getting all the way into the
    apply_microcode() hooks before being found to be too old.
    
    This is all a giant mess and needs an overhaul, but in the short term simply
    adjust the apply_microcode() to return -EEXIST.
    
    Also, unconditionally print the preexisting microcode revision on boot.  
It's
    relevant information which is otherwise unavailable if Xen doesn't find new
    microcode to use.
