Prarit Bhargava ee527cd3a2 Use stop_machine_run in the Intel RNG driver
Replace call_smp_function with stop_machine_run in the Intel RNG driver.

CPU A has done read_lock(&lock)
CPU B has done write_lock_irq(&lock) and is waiting for A to release the lock.

A third CPU calls call_smp_function and issues the IPI.  CPU A takes CPU
C's IPI.  CPU B is waiting with interrupts disabled and does not see the
IPI.  CPU C is stuck waiting for CPU B to respond to the IPI.

Deadlock.

The solution is to use stop_machine_run instead of call_smp_function
(call_smp_function should not be called in situations where the CPUs may be
suspended).
