[PATCH 2/3] virtio: rng: delay hwrng_register() till driver is ready

[Amit Shah]

Instead of calling hwrng_register() in the probe routing, call it in the
scan routine.  This ensures that when hwrng_register() is successful,
and it requests a few random bytes to seed the kernel's pool at init,
we're ready to service that request.

This will also enable us to remove the workaround added previously to
check whether probe was completed, and only then ask for data from the
host.  The revert follows in the next commit.
