Subject: [ 17/70] usb: feed USB device information to the /dev/random driver

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu>

commit b04b3156a20d395a7faa8eed98698d1e17a36000 upstream.

Send the USB device's serial, product, and manufacturer strings to the
/dev/random driver to help seed its pools.
