random: always mix cycle counter in add_latent_entropy()

[ Upstream commit d7bf7f3 ]

add_latent_entropy() is called every time a process forks, in
kernel_clone(). This in turn calls add_device_randomness() using the
latent entropy global state. add_device_randomness() does two things:

   2) Mixes into the input pool the latent entropy argument passed; and
   1) Mixes in a cycle counter, a sort of measurement of when the event
      took place, the high precision bits of which are presumably
      difficult to predict.

(2) is impossible without CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_LATENT_ENTROPY=y. But (1) is
always possible. However, currently CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_LATENT_ENTROPY=n
disables both (1) and (2), instead of just (2).

This commit causes the CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_LATENT_ENTROPY=n case to still
do (1) by passing NULL (len 0) to add_device_randomness() when add_latent_
entropy() is called.
