3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx> commit 47d06e532e95b71c0db3839ebdef3fe8812fca2c upstream. The some platforms (e.g., ARM) initializes their clocks as late_initcalls for some unknown reason. So make sure random_int_secret_init() is run after all of the late_initcalls are run.
