From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

current_rng holds one reference, and we bump it every time we want
to do a read from it.

This means we only hold the rng_mutex to grab or drop a reference,
so accessing /sys/devices/virtual/misc/hw_random/rng_current doesn't
block on read of /dev/hwrng.

Using a kref is overkill (we're always under the rng_mutex), but
a standard pattern.

This also solves the problem that the hwrng_fillfn thread was
accessing current_rng without a lock, which could change (eg. to NULL)
underneath it.

v5: drop redundant kref_init()
v4: decrease last reference for triggering the cleanup
v3: initialize kref (thanks Amos Kong)
v2: fix missing put_rng() on exit path (thanks Amos Kong)
