hwrng: place mutex around read functions and buffers.
There's currently a big lock around everything, and it means that we can't query sysfs (eg /sys/devices/virtual/misc/hw_random/rng_current) while the rng is reading. This is a real problem when the rng is slow, or blocked (eg. virtio_rng with qemu's default /dev/random backend) This doesn't help (it leaves the current lock untouched), just adds a lock to protect the read function and the static buffers, in preparation for transition.
