4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx> commit 6c1e851c4edc13a43adb3ea4044e3fc8f43ccf7d upstream. We can do a sleeping allocation from an irq context when CONFIG_NUMA is enabled. Fix this by initializing the NUMA crng instances in a workqueue.
