The original attempt to fix entropy gathering for rotational disks under MQ added an else branch in sd_read_block_characteristics(). Unfortunately, the entire check isn't reached if the device has no characteristics VPD page. Since this page was only introduced in SBC-3 and its optional anyway, most less expensive rotational disks don't have one, meaning they all stopped gathering entropy when we made MQ the default. In a wholly unrelated change, openssl and openssh won't function until the random number generator is initialised, meaning lots of people have been seeing large delays before they could log into systems with default MQ kernels due to this lack of entropy, because it now can take tens of minutes to initialise the kernel random number generator. The fix is to set the non-rotational and add-randomness flags unconditionally early on in the disk initialization path, so they can be reset only if the device actually reports being non-rotational via the VPD page.
