The data pointer is known good, so the -ENOMEM path is unnecessary.  However,
if we find no patch, something's wrong seeing as early_microcode_init()
indicated it was happy.

We are the entity initialising the cache, so we don't need the complexity of
using microcode_update_cache().  Just assert the cache is empty, and populate
it.
