hwrng core uses two buffers that can be mixed in the virtio-rng queue. This series fixes the problem by adding an internal buffer in virtio-rng. Once the internal buffer is added, we can fix two other problems: - to be able to release the driver without waiting the device releases the buffer - actually returns some data when wait=0 as we can have some already available data It also tries to improve the performance by always having a buffer in the queue of the device.
