Greg Kroah-Hartman cfc30449bb Revert "char/random: silence a lockdep splat with printk()"
This reverts commit 15341b1dd4 which is
commit 1b710b1b10 upstream.

Lech writes:
	After upgrading kernel on our boards from v4.19.105 to v4.19.106
	we found out that syslog fails to read the messages after ones
	read initially after opening /proc/kmsg just after booting.

	I also found out, that output of 'dmesg --follow' also doesn't
	react on new printks appearing for whatever reason - to read new
	messages, reopening /proc/kmsg or /dev/kmsg was needed.

	I bisected this down to commit
	15341b1dd4 ("char/random: silence
	a lockdep splat with printk()"), and reverting it on top of
	v4.19.106 restored correct behaviour.

While people dig to find out how such an odd change causes a lockup,
let's just revert this for now as it's not all that big of a deal for
4.19.y.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
