net: make net_get_random_once irq safe
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
I initial build non irq safe version of net_get_random_once because I
would liked to have the freedom to defer even the extraction process of
get_random_bytes until the nonblocking pool is fully seeded.

I don't think this is a good idea anymore and thus this patch makes
net_get_random_once irq safe. Now someone using net_get_random_once does
not need to care from where it is called.
