random: Add support for architectural random hooks

commit 63d77173266c1791f1553e9e8ccea65dc87c4485 upstream.

Add support for architecture-specific hooks into the kernel-directed
random number generator interfaces.  This patchset does not use the
architecture random number generator interfaces for the
userspace-directed interfaces (/dev/random and /dev/urandom), thus
eliminating the need to distinguish between them based on a pool
pointer.

Changes in version 3:
- Moved the hooks from extract_entropy() to get_random_bytes().
- Changes the hooks to inlines.

[PG: .34 already had "unsigned int ret" in get_random_int, so the
 diffstat here is slightly smaller than that of 63d7717. ]
