Pull random number generator fix from Jason Donenfeld:
 "One fix from Jean-Philippe Brucker, addressing a regression in which
  early boot code on ARM64 would use the non-_early variant of the
  arch_get_random family of functions, resulting in the architectural
  random number generator appearing unavailable during that early phase
  of boot.

  The fix simply changes arch_get_random*() to arch_get_random*_early().

  This distinction between these two functions is a bit of an old wart
  I'm not a fan of, and for 6.2 I'll see if I can make obsolete the
  _early variant, so that one function does the right thing in all
  contexts without overhead"
