crypto: rng - ensure that the RNG is ready before using

Otherwise, we might be seeding the RNG using bad randomness, which is
dangerous. The one use of this function from within the kernel -- not
from userspace -- is being removed (keys/big_key), so that call site
isn't relevant in assessing this.
