From: Rusty Russell <ru...@rustcorp.com.au>
The previous patch added one potential problem: we can still be
reading from a hwrng when it's unregistered. Add a wait for zero
in the hwrng_unregister path.
v5: reset cleanup_done flag, use compiler barrier to prevent recording.
v4: add cleanup_done flag to insure that cleanup is done
