random: do not throw away excess input to crng_fast_load
When crng_fast_load() is called by add_hwgenerator_randomness(), we currently will advance to crng_init==1 once we've acquired 64 bytes, and then throw away the rest of the buffer. Usually, that is not a problem: When add_hwgenerator_randomness() gets called via EFI or DT during setup_arch(), there won't be any IRQ randomness. Therefore, the 64 bytes passed by EFI exactly matches what is needed to advance to crng_init==1. Usually, DT seems to pass 64 bytes as well -- with one notable exception being kexec, which hands over 128 bytes of entropy to the kexec'd kernel. In that case, we'll advance to crng_init==1 once 64 of those bytes are consumed by crng_fast_load(), but won't continue onward feeding in bytes to progress to crng_init==2. This commit fixes the issue by feeding any leftover bytes into the next phase in add_hwgenerator_randomness().
