There was a problem hiding this comment.
might as well move the state access and the warning into the lock's critical section

The errors are unrelated. Thanks Nathan. |

The fix is correct and it covers all places. In future I would like PRs to be left open for atleast a day so that I get time to review it before merge. Thanks. |

PR summary
Fixes #32059.
#30360 was supposed to fix these issues but clearly this is harder than I thought.
With this PR the lock is being held everywhere we access the RNG state. Also adds new tests for the case from the issue as well as some other spots I noticed while auditing the RNG codebase for similar issues.
I was able to reproduce the race in a slightly modified version of the script in the issue and it no longer triggers after this PR.
AI Disclosure
I used an AI model to find places where we access RNG state without holding the lock. It also helped with the new tests.
