Revert "char/random: silence a lockdep splat with printk()"
This reverts commit 15341b1dd409749fa5625e4b632013b6ba81609b which is commit 1b710b1b10eff9d46666064ea25f079f70bc67a8 upstream. Lech writes: After upgrading kernel on our boards from v4.19.105 to v4.19.106 we found out that syslog fails to read the messages after ones read initially after opening /proc/kmsg just after booting. I also found out, that output of 'dmesg --follow' also doesn't react on new printks appearing for whatever reason - to read new messages, reopening /proc/kmsg or /dev/kmsg was needed. I bisected this down to commit 15341b1dd409749fa5625e4b632013b6ba81609b ("char/random: silence a lockdep splat with printk()"), and reverting it on top of v4.19.106 restored correct behaviour. While people dig to find out how such an odd change causes a lockup, let's just revert this for now as it's not all that big of a deal for 4.19.y.
