random: run random_int_secret_init() run after all late_initcalls
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The some platforms (e.g., ARM) initializes their clocks as
late_initcalls for some unknown reason.  So make sure
random_int_secret_init() is run after all of the late_initcalls are
run.
