The following patch makes the microcode update code path
actually invoke the perf_check_microcode() function and
thus potentially renabling SNB PEBS.

By default, CONFIG_MICROCODE_OLD_INTERFACE is
forced to Y in arch/x86/Kconfig. There is no
way to disable this. That means that the code
path used in arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c
did not include the call to perf_check_microcode().

Thus, even though the microcode was updated to a
version that fixes the SNB PEBS problem, perf_event
would still return EOPNOTSUPP when enabling precise
sampling.

This patch simply adds a call to perf_check_microcode()
in the call path used when OLD_INTERFACE=y.
