virtio-rng device causing old guest kernels(2.6.32) to hang on latest qemu.
 The driver attempts to read from the virtio-rng device too early in it's
 initialization. Qemu detects guest is not ready and returns, resulting in
 hang.

 Fix is to handle pending request when guest is running and driver status is
 set to 'VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK'.

v3->v4: Added signed-off & reported-by tags again.
v2->v3: Add comment to explain virtio-rng early status update (Stefan)
v1->v2: Update new status value early only for virtio-rng (Stefan)
