    crypto: drbg - prepare for async seeding · 3d6a5f75

    In order to prepare for the addition of the asynchronous seeding call,
    the invocation of seeding the DRBG is moved out into a helper function.
    
    In addition, a block of memory is allocated during initialization time
    that will be used as a scratchpad for obtaining entropy. That scratchpad
    is used for the initial seeding operation as well as by the
    asynchronous seeding call. The memory must be zeroized every time the
    DRBG seeding call succeeds to avoid entropy data lingering in memory.
