Rather than calling add_device_randomness(), the add_early_randomness()
function should use add_hwgenerator_randomness(), so that the early
entropy can be potentially credited, which allows for the RNG to
initialize earlier without having to wait for the kthread to come up.
Since we don't want to sleep from add_early_randomness(), we also
refactor the API a bit so that hw_random/core.c can do the sleep, this
time using the correct function, hwrng_msleep, rather than having
random.c awkwardly do it.
