[PATCH 2/3] x86/ucode: Drop structurally unreachable ASSERT()s



It's impossible for wait_for_state() to return false when looking for
LOADING_EXIT, so much so that the optimiser can drop the ASSERT()s.

No functional change.

Fixes: 5ed12565aa32 ("microcode: rendezvous CPUs in NMI handler and load ucode")
