[S390] prng: prevent access beyond end of stack

While initializing the state of the prng only the first 8 bytes of
random data where used, the second 8 bytes were read from the memory
after the stack. If only 64 bytes of the kernel stack are used and
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled a kernel panic may occur because of
the invalid page access. Use the correct multiplicator to stay within
the random data buffer.
