Jason A. Donenfeld 1227334713 random: schedule jitter credit for next jiffy, not in two jiffies
Counterintuitively, mod_timer(..., jiffies + 1) will cause the timer to
fire not in the next jiffy, but in two jiffies. The way to cause
the timer to fire in the next jiffy is with mod_timer(..., jiffies).
Doing so then lets us bump the upper bound back up again.

Fixes: 50ee7529ec ("random: try to actively add entropy rather than passively wait for it")
Fixes: 829d680e82 ("random: cap jitter samples per bit to factor of HZ")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
