[PATCH 4.14 15/37] Revert "Revert "char/random: silence a lockdep splat with printk()""

From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@zx2c4.com>

In 2019, Sergey fixed a lockdep splat with 15341b1dd409 ("char/random:
silence a lockdep splat with printk()"), but that got reverted soon
after from 4.19 because back then it apparently caused various problems.
But the issue it was fixing is still there, and more generally, many
patches turning printk() into printk_deferred() have landed since,
making me suspect it's okay to try this out again.

This should fix the following deadlock found by the kernel test robot:
