x86/microcode/AMD: Pay attention to the stepping dynamically



commit d1744a4c upstream

Commit in Fixes changed how a microcode patch is loaded on Zen and newer but
the patch matching needs to happen with different rigidity, depending on what
is being done:

1) When the patch is added to the patches cache, the stepping must be ignored
   because the driver still supports different steppings per system

2) When the patch is matched for loading, then the stepping must be taken into
   account because each CPU needs the patch matching its exact stepping

Take care of that by making the matching smarter.
