commit f5e4ec155d145002fd9840868453d785fab86d42 upstream.
While reworking the archrandom handling, commit d349ab99eec7 ("random: handle archrandom with multiple longs") switched to the non-early archrandom helpers in random_init(), which broke initialization of the entropy pool from the arm64 random generator.
Indeed at that point the arm64 CPU features, which verify that all CPUs have compatible capabilities, are not finalized so arch_get_random_seed_longs() is unsuccessful. Instead random_init() should use the _early functions, which check only the boot CPU on arm64. On other architectures the _early functions directly call the normal ones.
