      Revert "char/random: silence a lockdep splat with printk()" · cfc30449
      Greg Kroah-Hartman authored
      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.
