[PATCH 1/5] hw_random: place mutex around read functions and buffers.

[Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>]

There's currently a big lock around everything, and it means that we
can't query sysfs (eg /sys/devices/virtual/misc/hw_random/rng_current)
while the rng is reading.  This is a real problem when the rng is slow,
or blocked (eg. virtio_rng with qemu's default /dev/random backend)

This doesn't help (it leaves the current lock untouched), just adds a
lock to protect the read function and the static buffers, in preparation
for transition.
