efi: random: refresh non-volatile random seed when RNG is initialized

Browse source 
EFI has a rather unique benefit that it has access to some limited
non-volatile storage, where the kernel can store a random seed. Register
a notification for when the RNG is initialized, and at that point, store
a new random seed.
