The commit b7d5dc21072c ("random: add a spinlock_t to struct
batched_entropy") insists on acquiring "batched_entropy_u32.lock" in
get_random_u32() which introduced the lock chain,
"&rq->lock --> batched_entropy_u32.lock"
even after crng init. As the result, it could result in deadlock below.
Fix it by using get_random_bytes() in shuffle_freelist() which does not
need to take on the batched_entropy locks.
