Hold your horses.  You don't need a second queue, you just need to
change wake_up_interruptible to wake_up.

Hmm, in fact shouldn't this be wake_up_all? Otherwise what are the
other getrandom(2) callers going to do? Ted?

If more than one application invokes getrandom(2) before the pool
is ready, then all bar one will be stuck forever because we use
wake_up_interruptible which wakes up a single task.

This patch replaces it with wake_up_all.
