commit cbe89e5a375a51bbb952929b93fa973416fea74e upstream.
It's too hard to keep the batches synchronized, and pointless anyway, since in !crng_ready(), we're updating the base_crng key really often, where batching only hurts. So instead, if the crng isn't ready, just call into get_random_bytes(). At this stage nothing is performance critical anyhow.
