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. And in the past
there have been problems related to add_bootloader_randomness() being
called too early in boot for what it needed.
This patch defers all entropy crediting until random_init(), where we
can be sure that all facilities we need are up and running. It changes
the name add_bootloader_randomness() to register_bootloader_seed(), and
insists that its buffer remain alive during all of __init.
A potential downside is that EFI runs a little bit before random_init(),
which means we were getting that seed a lot earlier before.
Fixes: f5bda35fba61 ("random: use static branch for crng_ready()")

Ard - I guess we've got two things to figure out here:
1) How much we gain by the situation before this patch of EFI supplying
its seed before random_init().
2) Whether those buffers are guaranteed to live throughout __init, or if
this patch introduces a UaF.
