[PATCH 2/7] random: print a warning for the first ten uninitialized random users

["Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>]

Since systemd is consistently using /dev/urandom before it is
initialized, we can't see the other potentially dangerous users of
/dev/urandom immediately after boot.  So print the first ten such
complaints instead.
