[PATCH] random: avoid reading two cache lines on irq randomness

["Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@zx2c4.com>]

In order to avoid reading and dirtying two cache lines on every IRQ, move
the work_struct to the bottom of the fast_pool struct. add_interrupt_
randomness() always touches .pool and .count, which are currently split,
because .mix pushes everything down. Instead, move .mix to the bottom,
so that .pool and .count are always in the first cache line, since the
.mix is only accessed when the pool is full.

Fixes: 58340f8e952b ("random: defer fast pool mixing to worker")
