x86/microcode/AMD: Free unneeded patch before exit from update_cache()

verify_and_add_patch() allocates memory for a microcode patch and hands
it down to be added to the cache of patches. However, if the cache
already has the latest patch, the newly allocated one needs to be freed
before returning. Do that.

This issue has been found by kmemleak:

  unreferenced object 0xffff88010e780b40 (size 32):
    comm "bash", pid 860, jiffies 4294690939 (age 29.297s)
    backtrace:
       kmemleak_alloc

  (gdb) list *0xffffffff81050d60
  0xffffffff81050d60 is in load_microcode_amd
                (arch/x86/kernel/cpu/microcode/amd.c:616).

which is this:

	patch = kzalloc(sizeof(*patch), GFP_KERNEL);
-->	if (!patch) {
		pr_err("Patch allocation failure.\n");
		return -EINVAL;
	}
