[PATCH 4.7 082/186] random: initialize the non-blocking pool via add_hwgenerator_randomness()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx>

commit 3371f3da08cff4b75c1f2dce742d460539d6566d upstream.

If we have a hardware RNG and are using the in-kernel rngd, we should
use this to initialize the non-blocking pool so that getrandom(2)
doesn't block unnecessarily.
