Change generic_load_microcode() to use the iov_iter API instead of a clumsy open-coded version which has to pay attention to __user data or kernel data, depending on the loading method. This allows to avoid explicit casting between user and kernel pointers. Because the iov_iter API makes it hard to read the same location twice, as a side effect, also fix a double-read of the microcode header (which could e.g. lead to out-of-bounds reads in microcode_sanity_check()). Not that it matters much, only root is allowed to load microcode anyway...
