hwrng: virtio - ensure reads happen after successful probe
The hwrng core asks for random data in the hwrng_register() call itself from commit d9e79726. This doesn't play well with virtio -- the DRIVER_OK bit is only set by virtio core on a successful probe, and we're not yet out of our probe routine when this call is made. This causes the host to not acknowledge any requests we put in the virtqueue, and the insmod or kernel boot process just waits for data to arrive from the host, which never happens.
