    x86/microcode: Run the AP-loading routine only on the application processors · 777284b6

    cpu_init() is run also on the BSP (in addition to the APs):
    
     x86_64_start_kernel
     |-> x86_64_start_reservations
     |-> start_kernel
     |-> trap_init
     |-> cpu_init
     |-> load_ucode_ap
     ...
    
    but we run the AP (Application Processors) microcode loading routine
    there too even though we have a BSP-specific routine for that:
    load_ucode_bsp().
    
    Which is unnecessary. So let's limit the AP microcode loading routine to
    the APs only.
    
    Remove a useless comment while at it.
