Subject: [PATCH v3] getentropy: fail if buffer not completely filled
The man page for getentropy says that it either completely succeeds or
completely fails for values < 256, so we can simplify this scenario by
omitting the loop. As a safeguard, we still return EIO if it returns
short, but otherwise we pass the error on through to the caller.
---
Changes v2->v3:
- v3 gets rid of the loop entirely.
