Subject: [ 02/40] virtio: rng: disallow multiple device registrations, fixes crashes

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

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

From: Amit Shah <amit.shah@...hat.com>

commit e84e7a56a3aa2963db506299e29a5f3f09377f9b upstream.

The code currently only supports one virtio-rng device at a time.
Invoking guests with multiple devices causes the guest to blow up.

Check if we've already registered and initialised the driver.  Also
cleanup in case of registration errors or hot-unplug so that a new
device can be used.
