[PATCH v3 2/2] virtio-rng: skip reading when we start to remove the device

From: Amos Kong <hidden>
Date: 2014-09-10 06:11:37
Subsystem: hardware random number generator core, the rest · Maintainers: Olivia Mackall, Herbert Xu, Linus Torvalds

Before we really unregister the hwrng device, reading will get stuck if
the virtio device is reset. We should return error for reading when we
start to remove the device.
