As this interface becomes more heavily used, it will be painful for
callers to always need to check for -EALREADY.

We now structure things in a way that assumes the seeding function is
always eventually called.

These are mostly untested, but I wanted to spec it out for a taste of
what it looks like.

Better to WARN_ON() and return a failure.

Perhaps add a note here about what a NULL func means here? (e.g.
"Already run, not in the list.")

Otherwise, yeah, looks sensible.

Good tips, thanks. I'll wait for more comments before resubmitting v2,
but in-progress changes live here:

Don't you change the logic flow here? In case the add_random_ready_callback
returns 0 because the ready function is already called due to crng_ready(),
the new code above in the patch set continues. But with the current code, it
will return at this point and do not perform the allocation below.
Ciao
