x86/microcode/AMD: Rework container parsing

Browse source

It was pretty clumsy before and the whole work of parsing the microcode
containers was spread around the functions wrongly.

Clean it up so that there's a main scan_containers() function which
iterates over the microcode blob and picks apart the containers glued
together. For each container, it calls a parse_container() helper which
concentrates on one container only: sanity-checking, parsing, counting
microcode patches in there, etc.

It makes much more sense now and it is actually very readable. Oh, and
we luvz a diffstat removing more crap than adding.
