3.16.40-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Andrew Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 6d4952d9d9d4dc2bb9c0255d95a09405a1e958f7 upstream.
hw_random carefully avoids using a stack buffer except in
add_early_randomness(). This causes a crash in virtio_rng if
CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y.

Fixes: d3cc7996473a ("hwrng: fetch randomness only after device init")
