Bailout early from init_cache_random_seq if s->random_seq is already initialised. This prevents destroying the previously computed random_seq offsets later in the function. If the offsets are destroyed, then shuffle_freelist will truncate page->freelist to just the first object (orphaning the rest). This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177551.
