      random: Add callback API for random pool readiness · 205a525c
      Herbert Xu authored
      The get_blocking_random_bytes API is broken because the wait can
      be arbitrarily long (potentially forever) so there is no safe way
      of calling it from within the kernel.
      
      This patch replaces it with a callback API instead.  The callback
      is invoked potentially from interrupt context so the user needs
      to schedule their own work thread if necessary.
      
      In addition to adding callbacks, they can also be removed as
      otherwise this opens up a way for user-space to allocate kernel
      memory with no bound (by opening algif_rng descriptors and then
      closing them).
