[PATCH v2] lib/test_printf.c: call wait_for_random_bytes() before plain %p tests
From: Thierry Escande
Date: Wed Jun 13 2018 - 05:29:34 EST
If the test_printf module is loaded before the crng is initialized, the
plain 'p' tests will fail because the printed address will not be hashed
and the buffer will contain "(ptrval)" instead.
Since we cannot wait for the crng to be initialized for an undefined
time, both plain 'p' tests now accept the string "(ptrval)" as a valid
result and print a warning message.

Change in v2:
- Remove wait_for_random_bytes() usage
- Removed Acked-by from Tobin as the proposed solution is not the same
anymore.
