From: Dominik Brodowski <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 7191c628fe07b70d3f37de736d173d1b115396ed upstream. crng_init is protected by primary_crng->lock. Therefore, we need to hold this lock when increasing crng_init to 2. As we shouldn't hold this lock for too long, only hold it for those parts which require protection.
