[PATCH v2] x86/microcode: Silence a static checker warning

[Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The code here prints an error if "p" is an error pointer but it still
dereferences it at the end of the function when it does:

	intel_ucode_patch = (struct microcode_intel *)__pa_nodebug(p->data);

We can just return early instead.

v2: return early instead checking for IS_ERR_OR_NULL() at the end.

We have to keep the final check whether "p" is NULL to handle the
situation were we set "prev_found = true;" but then hit the continue
statement instead of allocating "p".
