random: fix possible sleeping allocation from irq context
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. Reported-by: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> Reported-by: syzbot+9de458f6a5e713ee8c1a@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Fixes: 8ef35c866f8862df ("random: set up the NUMA crng instances...")
