Avoid potentially dereferencing a NULL pointer when saving a microcode patch for early loading on the application processors. While at it, drop the IS_ERR() checking in favor of simpler, NULL-ptr checks which are sufficient and rename __alloc_microcode_buf() to memdup_patch() to more precisely denote what it does. No functionality change.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
