[PATCH] random: Mix cputime from each thread that exits to the pool

[PATCH] random: Mix cputime from each thread that exits to the pool

[Nick Kossifidis]

When a thread exits mix it's cputime (userspace + kernelspace) to the entropy pool.

We don't know how "random" this is, so we use add_device_randomness that doesn't mess
with entropy count.
