Subject: [PATCH] mm/kfence: select random number before taking raw lock

The RNG uses vanilla spinlocks, not raw spinlocks, so kfence should pick
its random numbers before taking its raw spinlocks. This also has the
nice effect of doing less work inside the lock. It should fix a splat
that Geert saw with CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING:

     dump_backtrace.part.0+0x98/0xc0
     show_stack+0x14/0x28
     dump_stack_lvl+0xac/0xec
     dump_stack+0x14/0x2c
     __lock_acquire+0x388/0x10a0
     lock_acquire+0x190/0x2c0
     _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x6c/0x94
     crng_make_state+0x148/0x1e4
     _get_random_bytes.part.0+0x4c/0xe8
