Haixin Xu 01d798e9fe crypto: jitterentropy - replace long-held spinlock with mutex
jent_kcapi_random() serializes the shared jitterentropy state, but it
currently holds a spinlock across the jent_read_entropy() call. That
path performs expensive jitter collection and SHA3 conditioning, so
parallel readers can trigger stalls as contending waiters spin for
the same lock.

To prevent non-preemptible lock hold, replace rng->jent_lock with a
mutex so contended readers sleep instead of spinning on a shared lock
held across expensive entropy generation.

Fixes: bb5530e408 ("crypto: jitterentropy - add jitterentropy RNG")
