For the irq randomness fast pool, rather than having to use expensive atomics, which were visibly the most expensive thing in the entire irq handler, simply take care of the extreme edge case of resetting count to zero in the cpuhp online handler, just after workqueues have been reenabled. This simplifies the code a bit and lets us use vanilla variables rather than atomics, and performance should be improved. As well, very early on when the CPU comes up, while interrupts are still disabled, we clear out the per-cpu crng and its batches, so that it always starts with fresh randomness.
