Subject: [PATCH 3/8] random: trigger random_ready callback upon crng_init == 1

The random_ready callback mechanism is intended to replicate the
getrandom system call behavior to in-kernel users. As the getrandom
system call unblocks with crng_init == 1, trigger the random_ready
wakeup call at the same time.
