hwrng: core - Fix page fault dead lock on mmap-ed hwrng
There is a dead-lock in the hwrng device read path. This triggers
when the user reads from /dev/hwrng into memory also mmap-ed from
/dev/hwrng. The resulting page fault triggers a recursive read
which then dead-locks.
Fix this by using a stack buffer when calling copy_to_user.
