x86, microcode_amd: cleanup, mark request_microcode_user() as unsupported

Browse source 
(1) mark mc_size in generic_load_microcode() as unitialized_var to avoid
     gcc's (false) warning;

(2) mark request_microcode_user() as unsupported. The required changes
    can be added later. Note, we don't break any user-space interfaces
    here, as there were no kernels with support for AMD-specific ucode
    update yet. The ucode has to be updated via 'firmware'.

* FIXME! dimm: do we need this? Why an update via /dev/... is different
* from the one via firmware?
*
* This is a tricky part. We might be called from a write operation
* to the device file instead of the usual process of firmware
* loading. This routine needs to be able to distinguish both
* cases. This is done by checking if there alread is a equivalent
* CPU table installed. If not, we're written through
* /dev/cpu/microcode.
* Since we ignore all checks. The error case in which going through
* firmware loading and that table is not loaded has already been
* checked earlier.
