random: invalidate batched entropy after crng init (2017-06-07 19:45:37 -0400)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Improve performance by using a lockless update mechanism suggested by
Linus, and make sure we refresh per-CPU entropy returned get_random_*
as soon as the CRNG is initialized.

Hi Ted,
Did you forget this discussion [1][2][3], where we talked about how
you accidentally pulled v4 instead of v5, and would replace that v4
patch [4] with the v5 one [5]?

Since it looks like Linus already pulled, here's the diff-commit I
made from before, that you can submit on top:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/6/8/408
It should row "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" if it's not going to be
rebased into the existing commit there.
