Tested-by: Nageswara R Sastry <rnsastry at linux.ibm.com>

Tested the patch applying on kernel version 5.14.0-rc3

1. Ran with recreate commands i.e.
rngd -r /dev/hwrng -t
rngd -r /dev/tpm0 -t

2. Ran the above rngd commands along with "stress-ng - dispatching hogs: 
32 af-alg, 32 bsearch, 32 context, 32 cpu, 32 crypt, 32 hsearch, 32 
longjmp, 32 lsearch, 32 matrix, 32 qsort, 32 str, 32 stream, 32 tsearch, 
32 vecmath, 32 wcs" for 2 hours

Thanks!!
