Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the random tree

Hi Theodore,

After merging the random tree, today's linux-next build (arm
multi_v7_defconfig) failed like this:

Caused by commit

  e4f3df9712bb ("random: Wake up writers when random pools are zapped")

interacting with commit

  a11e1d432b51 ("Revert changes to convert to ->poll_mask() and aio IOCB_CMD_POLL")

from Linus' tree.

I took a stab and applied the following patch:
