Subject: [PATCH 5.15 079/145] random: round-robin registers as ulong, not u32

From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@...c4.com>

commit da3951ebdcd1cb1d5c750e08cd05aee7b0c04d9a upstream.

When the interrupt handler does not have a valid cycle counter, it calls
get_reg() to read a register from the irq stack, in round-robin.
Currently it does this assuming that registers are 32-bit. This is
_probably_ the case, and probably all platforms without cycle counters
are in fact 32-bit platforms. But maybe not, and either way, it's not
quite correct. This commit fixes that to deal with `unsigned long`
rather than `u32`.
