crypto: ansi_prng - Use just a BH lock

Browse source 
The current code uses a mix of sping_lock() & spin_lock_irqsave(). This can
lead to deadlock with the correct timming & cprng_get_random() + cprng_reset()
sequence.
I've converted them to bottom half locks since all three user grab just a BH
lock so this runs probably in softirq :)
