This should be clarified with FIPS lab. I do not think the check would be necessarily invalidated as it is also not invalidated by multiple simultaneous processes pulling the data from the kernel RNG. The threads could be regarded as individual instances of the DRBG so they have an individual view on the system entropy data.
