[PATCH] random: invalidate crngs and batches on cpuhp teardown

[Jason A. Donenfeld]

Now that we have a cpuhp teardown notifier, we can invalidate the keys
used by the per-cpu crngs and the batches used by per-cpu batched
entropy, so that if the cpus come back online, and the generation
counter happens to have cycled all the way around to where it was
before, it doesn't mistakenly use the old data. The chances of this
happening are exceedingly rare, but since we now have the notifier
setup, doing this is basically free.
