Subject: hwrng: virtio - Rename driver object to remove section mismatch
	warning

Hi:

Finally found the cause of the section mismatch warning in hwrng.
Apparently in addition to __devexit_p we now have to name the
variable in a certain way.

I'll add this patch.

    hwrng: virtio - Rename driver object to remove section mismatch warning
    
    The section mismatch warning shows up unless the __devexit referencing
    variable is named in a certain way.
