random: fix BUG_ON caused by accounting simplification
Commit ee1de406 ("random: simplify accounting logic") simplified things too much, in that it allows the following to trigger an overflow that results in a BUG_ON crash: dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/zero bs=67108707 count=1 Thanks to Peter Zihlstra for discovering the crash, and Hannes Frederic for analyizing the root cause.
