Subject: [PATCH] virtio-rng: make device ready before making request
Current virtio-rng does a entropy request before DRIVER_OK, this
violates the spec:
virtio spec requires that all drivers set DRIVER_OK
before using devices.
Further, kernel will ignore the interrupt after commit
8b4ec69d7e09 ("virtio: harden vring IRQ").
Fixing this by making device ready before the request.
