[PATCH] virtio-rng: complete have_data completion in removing device

When we try to hot-remove a busy virtio-rng device from QEMU monitor,
the device can't be hot-removed. Because virtio-rng driver hangs at
wait_for_completion_killable().

This patch fixed the hang by completing have_data completion before
unregistering a virtio-rng device.
