[PATCH 3.5 04/64] random: run random_int_secret_init() run after all late_initcalls

3.5.7.24 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso at mit.edu>

commit 47d06e532e95b71c0db3839ebdef3fe8812fca2c upstream.

The some platforms (e.g., ARM) initializes their clocks as
late_initcalls for some unknown reason.  So make sure
random_int_secret_init() is run after all of the late_initcalls are
run.
