Subject: [PATCH 5.4 010/240] random: Add a urandom_read_nowait() for random APIs that dont warn

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@...nel.org>

commit c6f1deb158789abba02a7eba600747843eeb3a57 upstream.

/dev/random and getrandom() never warn.  Split the meat of
urandom_read() into urandom_read_nowarn() and leave the warning code
in urandom_read().

This has no effect on kernel behavior, but it makes subsequent
patches more straightforward.  It also makes the fact that
getrandom() never warns more obvious.
