random: fix crng_ready() test
The crng_init variable has three states:
0: The CRNG is not initialized at all
1: The CRNG has a small amount of entropy, hopefully good enough for
early-boot, non-cryptographical use cases
2: The CRNG is fully initialized and we are sure it is safe for
cryptographic use cases.
The crng_ready() function should only return true once we are in the
last state. This addresses CVE-2018-1108.
