4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Theodore Ts'o tytso@mit.edu
commit 43838a23a05fbd13e47d750d3dfd77001536dd33 upstream.
The crng_init variable has three states:
0: The CRNG is not initialized at all 1: The CRNG has a small amount of entropy, hopefully good enough for early-boot, non-cryptographical use cases 2: The CRNG is fully initialized and we are sure it is safe for cryptographic use cases.
The crng_ready() function should only return true once we are in the last state. This addresses CVE-2018-1108.
