Subject: [PATCH 6.0 111/862] hwrng: core - let sleep be interrupted when unregistering hwrng

From: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@...c4.com>

commit 36cb6494429bd64b27b7ff8b4af56f8e526da2b4 upstream.

There are two deadlock scenarios that need addressing, which cause
problems when the computer goes to sleep, the interface is set down, and
hwrng_unregister() is called. When the deadlock is hit, sleep is delayed
for tens of seconds, causing it to fail. These scenarios are:

1) The hwrng kthread can't be stopped while it's sleeping, because it
   uses msleep_interruptible() which does not react to kthread_stop.

2) A normal user thread can't be interrupted by hwrng_unregister() while
   it's sleeping, because hwrng_unregister() is called from elsewhere.

We solve both issues by add a completion object called dying that
fulfils waiters once we have started the process in hwrng_unregister.

At the same time, we should cleanup a common and useless dmesg splat
in the same area.
