random: continually use hwgenerator randomness

Browse source 
commit c321e907aa4803d562d6e70ebed9444ad082f953 upstream.

The rngd kernel thread may sleep indefinitely if the entropy count is
kept above random_write_wakeup_bits by other entropy sources. To make
best use of multiple sources of randomness, mix entropy from hardware
RNGs into the pool at least once within CRNG_RESEED_INTERVAL.
