b43: Fix lockdep splat
commit 09164043f63c947a49797750a09ca1cd7c31108e upstream. In https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67561, a locking dependency is reported when b43 is used with hostapd, and rfkill is used to kill the radio output. The lockdep splat (in part) is as follows: ====================================================== [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] 3.12.0 #1 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------- rfkill/10040 is trying to acquire lock: (rtnl_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff8146f282>] rtnl_lock+0x12/0x20 but task is already holding lock: (rfkill_global_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffffa04832ca>] rfkill_fop_write+0x6a/0x170 [rfkill] --snip-- Chain exists of: rtnl_mutex --> misc_mtx --> rfkill_global_mutex The fix is to move the initialization of the hardware random number generator outside the code range covered by the rtnl_mutex.
