So I just did this:

diff --git a/drivers/char/random.c b/drivers/char/random.c
index 2fe28eeb2f38..2d70bc09db7e 100644
--- a/drivers/char/random.c
+++ b/drivers/char/random.c
@@ -1212,6 +1212,7 @@ static void __cold try_to_generate_entropy(void)
        struct entropy_timer_state stack;
        unsigned int i, num_different = 0;
        unsigned long last = random_get_entropy();
+       return;

        for (i = 0; i < NUM_TRIAL_SAMPLES - 1; ++i) {
                stack.entropy = random_get_entropy();

And then ran it, and now we get the lockup from the idle process:
