powerpc/powernv: wire up rng during setup_arch



commit f3eac426 upstream.

The platform's RNG must be available before random_init() in order to be
useful for initial seeding, which in turn means that it needs to be
called from setup_arch(), rather than from an init call.

Complicating things, however, is that POWER8 systems need some per-cpu
state and kmalloc, which isn't available at this stage. So we split
things up into an early phase and a later opportunistic phase. This
commit also removes some noisy log messages that don't add much.

Fixes: a4da0d50 ("powerpc: Implement arch_get_random_long/int() for powernv")
