x86, microcode, AMD: Check before applying a patch

Make sure we're actually applying a microcode patch to a core which
really needs it.

This brings only a very very very minor slowdown on F10:

0.032218828 sec vs 0.056010626 sec with this patch.

And small speedup on F15:

0.487089449 sec vs 0.180551162 sec (from perf output).

Also, fixup comments while at it.
