[ 162/180] fix typo/thinko in get_random_bytes()

[Willy Tarreau]

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Luck, Tony <tony.luck@xxxxxxxxx>

commit bd29e568a4cb6465f6e5ec7c1c1f3ae7d99cbec1 upstream.

If there is an architecture-specific random number generator we use it
to acquire randomness one "long" at a time.  We should put these random
words into consecutive words in the result buffer - not just overwrite
the first word again and again.
