Jason A. Donenfeld d775335e35 random: throttle hwrng writes if no entropy is credited
If a hwrng source does not provide an entropy estimate, it currently
does not contribute at all to the CRNG. In order to help fix this, in
case add_hwgenerator_randomness() is called with the entropy parameter
set to zero, go to sleep until one reseed interval has passed.

While the hwrng thread currently only runs under conditions where this
is non-zero, this change is not harmful and prepares for future updates
to the hwrng core.

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.
