--- Comment #7 from Xin LI <delphij@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to John Baldwin from comment #6)
The code in question have received a major refactor and the issue no longer
exists (in r262496: mutex is no longer held in random_kthread before sleeping).

In the new world order, the spin lock is only acquired as a leaf mutex in
random_harvestq_internal() and that would avoided all LOR cases (I would
probably move get_cyclecount() out from the locked scope but that's a different
issue).

So I think the _right_ fix is probably just merge the refactor back to
stable/10 instead.
