Subject: virtio-rng scatterlist null pointer dereference with VMAP_STACK=y

With VMAP_STACK=y and HW_RANDOM_VIRTIO=y, I get the following crash:

It looks like add_early_randomness() uses a buffer on the stack, which (with
VMAP_STACK) fails to be added to a scatterlist due to use of virt_to_page in
sg_set_buf().

None of this looks obviously wrong to me, but in combination it is not
functional.  Hence, I don't have a particular fix in mind, and I've CC'ed folks
from both the hw_random and scatterlist history.
