Address multiple problems with rnd(4)/cprng(9): 1) Add a per-cpu CPRNG to handle short reads from /dev/urandom so that programs like perl don't drain the entropy pool dry by repeatedly opening, reading 4 bytes, closing. 2) Really fix the locking around reseeds and destroys. 3) Fix the opportunistic-reseed strategy so it actually works, reseeding existing RNGs once each (as they are used, so idle RNGs don't get reseeded) until the pool is half empty or newly full again.

Separate /dev/random pseudodevice implemenation from kernel entropy pool implementation. Rewrite pseudodevice code to use cprng_strong(9). The new pseudodevice is cloning, so each caller gets bits from a stream generated with its own key. Users of /dev/urandom get their generators keyed on a "best effort" basis -- the kernel will rekey generators whenever the entropy pool hits the high water mark -- while users of /dev/random get their generators rekeyed every time key-length bits are output. The underlying cprng_strong API can use AES-256 or AES-128, but we use AES-128 because of concerns about related-key attacks on AES-256. This improves performance (and reduces entropy pool depletion) significantly for users of /dev/urandom but does cause users of /dev/random to rekey twice as often. Also fixes various bugs (including some missing locking and a reseed-counter overflow in the CTR_DRBG code) found while testing this. For long reads, this generator is approximately 20 times as fast as the old generator (dd with bs=64K yields 53MB/sec on 2Ghz Core2 instead of 2.5MB/sec) and also uses a separate mutex per instance so concurrency is greatly improved. For reads of typical key sizes for modern cryptosystems (16-32 bytes) performance is about the same as the old code: a little better for 32 bytes, a little worse for 16 bytes.
