Please CC me on RNG issues.

I'm surprised that this message results in a failure. It's not a
WARN_ON() or a BUG() that's being triggered here. This is just the
simple `pr_warn("%s: %d callbacks suppressed\n")` in lib/ratelimit.c,
which really shouldn't be causing your CI to fail. Sounds like your
harness could use some adjusting.

Nonetheless, you have found a 4 year old bug in the urandom warning
accounting that was recently made more easily triggerable by a newer
commit, though not the one you mentioned. I'll fix this up and keep you
CC'd on the patch, which should make it into stable as well.

Jason
