_extract_crng() does plain loads of crng->init_time and crng_global_init_time, which causes undefined behavior if crng_reseed() and RNDRESEEDCRNG modify these corrently. Use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() to make the behavior defined. Don't fix the race on crng->init_time by protecting it with crng->lock, since it's not a problem for duplicate reseedings to occur. I.e., the lockless access with READ_ONCE() is fine.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
