Pull random number generator fixes from Jason Donenfeld:

 - The input subsystem contributes entropy in some places where a
   spinlock is held, but the entropy accounting code only handled
   callers being in an interrupt or non-atomic process context, but not
   atomic process context. We fix this by removing an optimization and
   just calling queue_work() unconditionally.

 - Greg accidently sent up a patch not intended for his tree and that
   had been nack'd, so that's now reverted.
