Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: use hw_random API instead of directly dumping into random.c

Hardware random number generators are supposed to use the hw_random
framework. This commit turns ath9k's kthread-based design into a proper
hw_random driver.

This compiles, but I have no hardware or other ability to determine
whether it works. I'll leave further development up to the ath9k
and hw_random maintainers.
