[PATCH] tpm: Salt tpm_get_random() result with get_random_bytes()

[Jarkko Sakkinen]

Salt the result that comes from the TPM RNG with random bytes from the
kernel RNG. This will allow to use tpm_get_random() as a substitute for
get_random_bytes().  TPM could have a bug (making results predicatable),
backdoor or even an inteposer in the bus. Salting gives protections
against these concerns.
