This does not handle the case of partial read correctly - the code
should be

			return ret ? : -ERESTARTSYS;

The same problem here (although finding the RNG suddenly missing after
we heve just read something from it is pretty unlikely).

And here...

And here too.

This will match if the passed string is just a prefix of rng->name.
Apparently sysfs guarantees that the buffer passed to ->store will be
NUL-terminated, so this should be just a strcmp().

What if rng == current_rng here (someone has written the same RNG name
to the "store" attribute)?  The lowlevel RNG driver should not have to
handle nested init/cleanup calls.
