3.16.7-ckt1 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Amos Kong <akong at redhat.com>

commit 3856e548372513665670ca5db60d9a74b970fe0d upstream.

When we try to hot-remove a busy virtio-rng device from QEMU monitor,
the device can't be hot-removed. Because virtio-rng driver hangs at
wait_for_completion_killable().

This patch exits the waiting by completing have_data completion before
unregistering, resets data_avail to avoid the hwrng core use wrong
buffer bytes.
