efi: random: refresh non-volatile random seed when RNG is initialized
EFI has a rather unique benefit that it has access to some limited non-volatile storage, where the kernel can store a random seed. Register a notification for when the RNG is initialized, and at that point, store a new random seed. Reviewed-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@zx2c4.com>
