commit 68c9c8b192c6dae9be6278e98ee44029d5da2d31 upstream. Initialization happens once -- by way of credit_init_bits() -- and then it never happens again. Therefore, it doesn't need to be in crng_reseed(), which is a hot path that is called multiple times. It also doesn't make sense to have there, as initialization activity is better associated with initialization routines. After the prior commit, crng_reseed() now won't be called by multiple concurrent callers, which means that we can safely move the "finialize_init" logic into crng_init_bits() unconditionally.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
