Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:

 - Dynamically allocate cpumasks off of the stack if the kernel is
   configured for a lot of CPUs, to handle a -Wframe-larger-than case

 - The removal of next_pseudo_random32() after the last user was
   switched over to the prandom interface

 - The removal of get_random_u{8,16,32,64}_wait() functions, as there
   were no users of those at all

 - Some house keeping changes - a few grammar cleanups in the
   comments, system_unbound_wq was renamed to system_dfl_wq, and
   static_key_initialized no longer needs to be checked

* tag 'random-6.19-rc1-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random:
  random: complete sentence of comment
  random: drop check for static_key_initialized

Commit e871abcda3b6 ("random: handle creditable entropy from atomic
process context") added the use of workqueues, which meant testing
whether the workqueue is valid, but it did not remove the existing check
of whether static keys have been initialized. This static key check is
unnecessary because workqueues are initialized long after it. And
semantically it doesn't make much sense either, because it's not really
directly calling a static key function in the condition.

Remove the now unnecessary check.

system_unbound_wq has been renamed to system_dfl_wq in 128ea9f6ccfb
("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq"), so update

The entropy generation function keeps a local cpu mask on the stack,
which can trigger warnings in configurations with a large number of
CPUs:

    drivers/char/random.c:1292:20: error: stack frame size (1288)
    exceeds limit (1280) in 'try_to_generate_entropy' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]

Use the cpumask interface to dynamically allocate it in those
configurations.

<title>lib/crypto: blake2s: Rename blake2s_state to blake2s_ctx</title>

<content type='text'>
For consistency with the SHA-1, SHA-2, SHA-3 (in development), and MD5
library APIs, rename blake2s_state to blake2s_ctx.

As a refresher, the ctx name:

- Is a bit shorter.
- Avoids confusion with the compression function state, which is also
  often called the state (but is just part of the full context).
- Is consistent with OpenSSL.

Not a big deal, of course.  But consistency is nice.  With a BLAKE2b
library API about to be added, this is a convenient time to update this.

Reorder the parameters of blake2s() from (out, in, key, outlen, inlen,
keylen) to (key, keylen, in, inlen, out, outlen).

This aligns BLAKE2s with the common conventions of pairing buffers and
their lengths, and having outputs follow inputs.  This is widely used
elsewhere in lib/crypto/ and crypto/, and even elsewhere in the BLAKE2s
code itself such as blake2s_init_key() and blake2s_final().  So
blake2s() was a bit of an exception.

Notably, this results in the same order as hmac_*_usingrawkey().

Note that since the type signature changed, it's not possible for a
blake2s() call site to be silently missed.
