Andrew Morton 8b76f46a2d drivers/char/random.c: fix a race which can lead to a bogus BUG() 
Fix a bug reported by and diagnosed by Aaron Straus.

This is a regression intruduced into 2.6.26 by

    commit adc782dae6
    Author: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com>
    Date:   Tue Apr 29 01:03:07 2008 -0700

        random: simplify and rename credit_entropy_store

credit_entropy_bits() does:

	spin_lock_irqsave(&r->lock, flags);
	...
	if (r->entropy_count > r->poolinfo->POOLBITS)
		r->entropy_count = r->poolinfo->POOLBITS;

so there is a time window in which this BUG_ON():

static size_t account(struct entropy_store *r, size_t nbytes, int min,
		      int reserved)
{
	unsigned long flags;

	BUG_ON(r->entropy_count > r->poolinfo->POOLBITS);

	/* Hold lock while accounting */
	spin_lock_irqsave(&r->lock, flags);

can trigger.

We could fix this by moving the assertion inside the lock, but it seems
safer and saner to revert to the old behaviour wherein
entropy_store.entropy_count at no time exceeds
entropy_store.poolinfo->POOLBITS.
