drivers/char/random.c: fix priming of last_data

Browse source 
Commit ec8f02da9e ("random: prime last_data value per fips
requirements") added priming of last_data per fips requirements.

Unfortuantely, it did so in a way that can lead to multiple threads all
incrementing nbytes, but only one actually doing anything with the extra
data, which leads to some fun random corruption and panics.

The fix is to simply do everything needed to prime last_data in a single
shot, so there's no window for multiple cpus to increment nbytes -- in
fact, we won't even increment or decrement nbytes anymore, we'll just
extract the needed EXTRACT_SIZE one time per pool and then carry on with
the normal routine.

All these changes have been tested across multiple hosts and
architectures where panics were previously encoutered.  The code changes
are are strictly limited to areas only touched when when booted in fips
mode.

This change should also go into 3.8-stable, to make the myriads of fips
users on 3.8.x happy.
