crypto: ansi_prng - Use just a BH lock
The current code uses a mix of sping_lock() & spin_lock_irqsave(). This can lead to deadlock with the correct timming & cprng_get_random() + cprng_reset() sequence. I've converted them to bottom half locks since all three user grab just a BH lock so this runs probably in softirq :) Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <sebastian@breakpoint.cc> Acked-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
