random: do not ignore early device randomness
The add_device_randomness() function would ignore incoming bytes if the crng wasn't ready. This additionally makes sure to make an early enough call to add_latent_entropy() to influence the initial stack canary, which is especially important on non-x86 systems where it stays the same through the life of the boot.
