powerpc/powernv: delay rng platform device creation until later in boot



The platform device for the rng must be created much later in boot.
Otherwise it tries to connect to a parent that doesn't yet exist,
resulting in this splat:

  [    0.000478] kobject: '(null)' ((____ptrval____)): is not initialized, yet kobject_get() is being called.
  [    0.002925] [c000000002a0fb30] [c00000000073b0bc] kobject_get+0x8c/0x100 (unreliable)
  [    0.003071] [c000000002a0fba0] [c00000000087e464] device_add+0xf4/0xb00
  [    0.003194] [c000000002a0fc80] [c000000000a7f6e4] of_device_add+0x64/0x80

  [    0.003476] [c000000002a0fd00] [c00000000201fa44] pnv_get_random_long_early+0x240/0x2e4
  [    0.003623] [c000000002a0fe20] [c000000002060c38] random_init+0xc0/0x214

This patch fixes the issue by doing the platform device creation inside
of machine_subsys_initcall.
