mips: use fallback for random_get_entropy() instead of just c0 random
stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.119 commit d5531246afcf798cdb6b82143ade30fa1d7513e9 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I5L6BB Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=d5531246afcf798cdb6b82143ade30fa1d7513e9 -------------------------------- commit 1c99c6a7 upstream. For situations in which we don't have a c0 counter register available, we've been falling back to reading the c0 "random" register, which is usually bounded by the amount of TLB entries and changes every other cycle or so. This means it wraps extremely often. We can do better by combining this fast-changing counter with a potentially slower-changing counter from random_get_entropy_fallback() in the more significant bits. This commit combines the two, taking into account that the changing bits are in a different bit position depending on the CPU model. In addition, we previously were falling back to 0 for ancient CPUs that Linux does not support anyway; remove that dead path entirely.
