Harald Freudenberger 95c0f5c3b8 hwrng: core - Fix wrong quality calculation at hw rng registration 
When there are rng sources registering at the hwrng core via
hwrng_register() a struct hwrng is delivered. There is a quality
field in there which is used to decide which of the registered
hw rng sources will be used by the hwrng core.

With commit 16bdbae394 ("hwrng: core - treat default_quality as
a maximum and default to 1024") there came in a new default of
1024 in case this field is empty and all the known hw rng sources
at that time had been reworked to not fill this field and thus
use the default of 1024.

The code choosing the 'better' hw rng source during registration
of a new hw rng source has never been adapted to this and thus
used 0 if the hw rng implementation does not fill the quality field.
So when two rng sources register, one with 0 (meaning 1024) and
the other one with 999, the 999 hw rng will be chosen.

As the later invoked function hwrng_init() anyway adjusts the
quality field of the hw rng source, this adjustment is now done
during registration of this new hw rng source.

Tested on s390 with two hardware rng sources: crypto cards and
trng true random generator device driver.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
