random: wake up /dev/random writers after zap
When account() is called, and the amount of entropy dips below random_write_wakeup_bits, we wake up the random writers, so that they can write some more in. However, the RNDZAPENTCNT/RNDCLEARPOOL ioctl sets the entropy count to zero -- a potential reduction just like account() -- but does not unblock writers. This commit adds the missing logic to that ioctl to unblock waiting writers. Reviewed-by: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net> Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@zx2c4.com>
