Subject[PATCH] x86, random: Fix get_random_bytes() warning in x86 start_kernel
Date
After 43838a23a05f ("random: fix crng_ready() test") early boot calls
to get_random_bytes() will warn on each cpu on x86 because the crng
is not initialized. For example,

random: get_random_bytes called from start_kernel+0x8e/0x587 with crng_init=0

x86 only uses get_random_bytes() for better randomization of the stack
canary value so the warning is of no consequence.

Export crng_ready() for x86 and test if the crng is initialized before
calling get_random_bytes().
