microcode_mutex is only used by reload_store(). It has a comment saying
"to synchronize with each other". Other user of this mutex have been
removed in the commits
181b6f40e9ea8 ("x86/microcode: Rip out the OLD_INTERFACE").
b6f86689d5b74 ("x86/microcode: Rip out the subsys interface gunk")
The sysfs interface does not need additional synchronisation vs itself
because it is provided as kernfs_ops::mutex which is acquired in
kernfs_fop_write_iter().
Remove the superfluous microcode_mutex.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
