Jason A. Donenfeld 327b18b7aa mm/kfence: select random number before taking raw lock 
The RNG uses vanilla spinlocks, not raw spinlocks, so kfence should pick
its random numbers before taking its raw spinlocks.  This also has the
nice effect of doing less work inside the lock.  It should fix a splat
that Geert saw with CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING:

     dump_backtrace.part.0+0x98/0xc0
