hwrng: core - credit entropy for low quality sources of randomness
In case the entropy quality is low, there may be less than one bit to
credit in the call to add_hwgenerator_randomness(): The number of bytes
returned by rng_get_data() multiplied by the current quality (in entropy
bits per 1024 bits of input) must be larger than 128 to credit at least
one bit. However, imx-rngc.c sets the quality to 19, but may return less
than 32 bytes; hid_u2fzero.c sets the quality to 1; and users may override
the quality setting manually.
In case there is less than one bit to credit, keep track of it and add
that credit to the next iteration.
