Subject: [PATCH 4.9 117/264] random: fix locking in crng_fast_load()

From: Dominik Brodowski <linux@...inikbrodowski.net>

commit 7c2fe2b32bf76441ff5b7a425b384e5f75aa530a upstream.

crng_init is protected by primary_crng->lock, so keep holding that lock
when incrementing crng_init from 0 to 1 in crng_fast_load(). The call to
pr_notice() can wait until the lock is released; this code path cannot
be reached twice, as crng_fast_load() aborts early if crng_init > 0.
