[PATCH] random: do not use jump labels before they are initialized

[ I would like to pursue fixing this more directly first before actually
  merging this, but I thought I'd send this to the list now anyway as a
  the "backup" plan. If I can't figure out how to make headway on the
  main plan in the next few days, it'll be easy to just do this. ]

Stephen reported that a static key warning splat appears during early
boot on systems that credit randomness from device trees that contain an
"rng-seed" property, because because setup_machine_fdt() is called
before jump_label_init() during setup_arch():

 static_key_enable_cpuslocked(): static key '0xffffffe51c6fcfc0' used before call to jump_label_init()

 random: crng init done
 Machine model: Google Lazor (rev1 - 2) with LTE

A trivial fix went in to address this on arm64, 73e2d827a501 ("arm64:
Initialize jump labels before setup_machine_fdt()"). But it appears that
fixing it on other platforms might not be so trivial. Instead, defer the
setting of the static branch until later in the boot process.
