linux-5.4_rc3: Disable CONFIG_MICROCODE_OLD_INTERFACE

This is the ancient /dev/cpu/microcode interface which was used by userspace tools like iucode_tool and microcode.ctl. It is inadequate because it runs too late to be able to properly load microcode on a machine and it needs special tools. Disable.
