Subject: [PATCH] crypto: extend ansi_cprng to allow resetting of DT value

Hey all-
	This is a patch that was sent to me by Jarod Wilson, marking off my
outstanding todo to allow the ansi cprng to set/reset the DT counter value in a
cprng instance.  Currently crytpo_rng_reset accepts a seed byte array which is
interpreted by the ansi_cprng as a {V key} tuple.  This patch extends that tuple
to now be {V key DT}, with DT an optional value during reset.  This patch also
fixes  a bug we noticed in which the offset of the key area of the seed is
started at DEFAULT_PRNG_KSZ rather than DEFAULT_BLK_SZ as it should be.

Regards
Neil
