[v2.6.34-stable 141/165] random: simplify fips mode

From: Paul Gortmaker

From: Matt Mackall <mpm@xxxxxxxxxxx>

-------------------
This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git
If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
-------------------

commit e954bc91bdd4bb08b8325478c5004b24a23a3522 upstream.

Rather than dynamically allocate 10 bytes, move it to static allocation.
This saves space and avoids the need for error checking.
