Subject: [PATCH] libpriv/kernel: add cap_mknod to dracut run
A lot of history with this. But essentially, dracut tries to `mknod` a
few character devices like `/dev/random` and `/dev/urandom` and fails.
We originally blocked `cap_mknod` because, well, `%post` scripts don't
really need to do that, and it would get wiped anyway. But there is a
use case for dracut's CPIO: we want `/dev/*random` to be available in
early boot *before* systemd even mounts `devtmpfs` because libgcrypt as
part of its constructor-time selftests in FIPS mode wants to read from
there.
