From: "Tobin C. Harding" <me@tobin.cc>

commit 753d433b586d1d43c487e3d660f5778c7c8d58ea upstream.

Currently the function get_random_bytes_arch() has return value 'void'.
If the hw RNG fails we currently fall back to using get_random_bytes().
This defeats the purpose of requesting random material from the hw RNG
in the first place.

There are currently no intree users of get_random_bytes_arch().

Only get random bytes from the hw RNG, make function return the number
of bytes retrieved from the hw RNG.
