random: fix locking in crng_fast_load()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 7c2fe2b 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.
