random: mix in timestamps and reseed on system restore
Since the RNG loses freshness with system suspend/hibernation, when we
resume, immediately reseed using whatever data we can, which for this
particular case is the various timestamps regarding system suspend time,
in addition to more generally the RDSEED/RDRAND/RDTSC values that happen
whenever the crng reseeds.
On systems that suspend and resume automatically all the time -- such as
Android -- we skip the reseeding on suspend resumption, since that could
wind up being far too busy. This is the same trade-off made in
WireGuard.
In addition to reseeding upon resumption always mix into the pool these
various stamps on every power notification event.
