ipv4: initialize ip4_frags hash secret as late as possible
Defer the generation of the first hash secret for the ipv4 fragmentation cache as late as possible. ip4_frags.rnd gets initial seeded by inet_frags_init and regulary reseeded by inet_frag_secret_rebuild. Either we call ipqhashfn directly from ip_fragment.c in which case we initialize the secret directly. If we first get called by inet_frag_secret_rebuild we install a new secret by a manual call to get_random_bytes. This secret will be overwritten as soon as the first call to ipqhashfn happens. This is safe because we won't race while publishing the new secrets with anyone else. Cc: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: "David S.
