x86/microcode/intel: Do not print microcode revision and processor flags
collect_cpu_info() is used to collect the current microcode revision and
processor flags on every CPU.
It had a weird mechanism to try to mimick a "once" functionality in the
sense that, that information should be issued only when it is differing
from the previous CPU.
However (1):
the new calling sequence started doing that in parallel:
microcode_init()
|-> schedule_on_each_cpu(setup_online_cpu)
|-> collect_cpu_info()
resulting in multiple redundant prints:
microcode: sig=0x50654, pf=0x80, revision=0x2006e05
microcode: sig=0x50654, pf=0x80, revision=0x2006e05
microcode: sig=0x50654, pf=0x80, revision=0x2006e05
However (2):
dumping this here is not that important because the kernel does not
support mixed silicon steppings microcode. Finally!
Besides, there is already a pr_info() in microcode_reload_late() that
shows both the old and new revisions.
What is more, the CPU signature (sig=0x50654) and Processor Flags
(pf=0x80) above aren't that useful to the end user, they are available
via /proc/cpuinfo and they don't change anyway.
Remove the redundant pr_info().
