Subject: [PATCH] hwrng: stm32 - fix build warning

We have been getting build warning about:
drivers/char/hw_random/stm32-rng.c: In function 'stm32_rng_read':
drivers/char/hw_random/stm32-rng.c:82:19: warning: 'sr' may be used
					uninitialized in this function

On checking the code it turns out that sr can never be used
uninitialized as sr is getting initialized in the while loop and while
loop will always execute as the minimum value of max can be 32.
So just initialize sr to 0 while declaring it to silence the compiler.
