[PATCH] random: Fix signal_pending() usage

[Jann Horn]

signal_pending() checks TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL and TIF_SIGPENDING, which signal
that the task should bail out of the syscall when possible.
This is a separate concept from need_resched(), which checks
TIF_NEED_RESCHED, signalling that the task should preempt.

In particular, with the current code, the signal_pending() bailout probably
won't work reliably.

Change this to look like other functions that read lots of data, such as
read_zero().
