Subject: [PATCH 3.2 37/87] random: run random_int_secret_init() run after
 all late_initcalls

3.2.53-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

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

commit 47d06e532e95b71c0db3839ebdef3fe8812fca2c upstream.

The some platforms (e.g., ARM) initializes their clocks as
late_initcalls for some unknown reason.  So make sure
random_int_secret_init() is run after all of the late_initcalls are
run.
