From: Dominik Brodowski <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 7c2fe2b32bf76441ff5b7a425b384e5f75aa530a upstream. crng_init is protected by primary_crng->lock, so keep holding that lock when incrementing crng_init from 0 to 1 in crng_fast_load(). The call to pr_notice() can wait until the lock is released; this code path cannot be reached twice, as crng_fast_load() aborts early if crng_init > 0.
