hwrng: pseries - port to new read API and fix stack corruption
commit 24c65bc7037e7d0f362c0df70d17dd72ee64b8b9 upstream.
The add_early_randomness() function in drivers/char/hw_random/core.c passes
a 16-byte buffer to pseries_rng_data_read(). Unfortunately, plpar_hcall()
returns four 64-bit values and trashes 16 bytes on the stack.
This bug has been lying around for a long time. It got unveiled by:
commit d3cc7996473a7bdd33256029988ea690754e4e2a

hwrng: fetch randomness only after device init
It may trig a oops while loading or unloading the pseries-rng module for both
PowerVM and PowerKVM guests.
This patch does two things:
- pass an intermediate well sized buffer to plpar_hcall(). This is acceptalbe
since we're not on a hot path.
- move to the new read API so that we know the return buffer size for sure.
