Stephan Mueller cde001e4c3 crypto: rng - RNGs must return 0 in success case
Change the RNGs to always return 0 in success case.

This patch ensures that seqiv.c works with RNGs other than krng. seqiv
expects that any return code other than 0 is an error. Without the
patch, rfc4106(gcm(aes)) will not work when using a DRBG or an ANSI
X9.31 RNG.

Neil Horman 17f0f4a47d crypto: rng - RNG interface and implementation
This patch adds a random number generator interface as well as a
cryptographic pseudo-random number generator based on AES.  It is
meant to be used in cases where a deterministic CPRNG is required.

One of the first applications will be as an input in the IPsec IV
generation process.
