Subject: [PATCH v4] lib/vsprintf: defer filling siphash key on RT

On RT, we can't call get_random_bytes() from inside of the raw locks
that callers of vsprintf might take, because get_random_bytes() takes
normal spinlocks. So on those RT systems, defer the siphash key
generation to a worker.

Also, avoid using a static_branch, as this isn't the fast path.
Using static_branch_likely() to signal that ptr_key has been filled is a
bit much given that it is not a fast path.

Sebastian - feel free to take this and tweak it as needed. Sending this
mostly as something illustrative of what the "simpler" thing would be
that I had in mind. -Jason
