Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] random: set fast pool count to zero in cpuhp prepare
Rather than having to use expensive atomics, which were visibly the most
expensive thing in the entire irq handler, simply take care of the
extreme edge case of resetting count to 0 in the cpuhp prepare handler,
before irqs have started. This simplifies the code a bit and lets us use
vanilla variables rather than atomics, and performance should be
improved.
