[PATCH v3] random: fix add_hwgenerator_randomness entropy accounting

From: Jan Varho
Date: Mon Apr 04 2022 - 17:26:32 EST


add_hwgenerator_randomness tries to only use the required amound of input
for fast init, but credits all the entropy if even a byte was left over.

Fix by not crediting entropy when using the input for fast init.
