Hi all,

After merging the random tree, today's linux-next build (arm64 defconfig)
failed like this:

Caused by commit

  c3b03baac3f2 ("random: replace custom notifier chain with standard one")

Which added the include of linux/notifier.h to linux/random.h :-(

I have added this patch for today:

Subject: [PATCH] fix up for "random: replace custom notifier chain with standard one"

Only the forward declaration of struct notifier_block is needed.
This prevents a circular include dependency on arm64 (at least).
