[PATCH v2 1/6] random: Addition of kernel_pool

The kernel pool is intended to serve kernel-internal callers only. Its purpose and usage is identical to the blocking_pool. As the kernel_pool is not available to user space, user space cannot directly interfere with the blocking behavior when obtaining data from the kernel_pool. Thus, if entropy
