Jason A. Donenfeld e3d2c5e79a random: use symbolic constants for crng_init states
crng_init represents a state machine, with three states, and various
rules for transitions. For the longest time, we've been managing these
with "0", "1", and "2", and expecting people to figure it out. To make
the code more obvious, replace these with proper enum values
representing the transition, and then redocument what each of these
states mean.

README

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.
