x86/microcode: Untangle from BLK_DEV_INITRD
commit 5f9c01aa7c49a2d74474d6d879a797b8badf29e6 upstream.
Thomas Voegtle reported that doing oldconfig with a .config which has
CONFIG_MICROCODE enabled but BLK_DEV_INITRD disabled prevents the
microcode loading mechanism from being built.
So untangle it from the BLK_DEV_INITRD dependency so that oldconfig
doesn't turn it off and add an explanatory text to its Kconfig help what
the supported methods for supplying microcode are.
