This reverts commit 15341b1d which is
commit 1b710b1b upstream.

Lech writes:
	After upgrading kernel on our boards from v4.19.105 to v4.19.106
	we found out that syslog fails to read the messages after ones
	read initially after opening /proc/kmsg just after booting.

	I also found out, that output of 'dmesg --follow' also doesn't
	react on new printks appearing for whatever reason - to read new
	messages, reopening /proc/kmsg or /dev/kmsg was needed.

	I bisected this down to commit
	15341b1d

 ("char/random: silence
	a lockdep splat with printk()"), and reverting it on top of
	v4.19.106 restored correct behaviour.

While people dig to find out how such an odd change causes a lockup,
let's just revert this for now as it's not all that big of a deal for
4.19.y.
