[PATCH 2/2] arm64: Add support for SMCCC TRNG firmware interface

The ARM architected TRNG firmware interface, described in ARM spec
DEN0098[1], defines an ARM SMCCC based interface to a true random number
generator, provided by firmware.
This can be discovered via the SMCCC >=v1.1 interface, and provides
up to 192 bits of entropy per call.

Hook this SMC call into arm64's arch_get_random_*() implementation,
coming to the rescue when the CPU does not implement the ARM v8.5 RNG
system registers.

For the detection, we piggy back on the PSCI/SMCCC discovery (which gives
us the conduit to use: hvc or smc), then try to call the
ARM_SMCCC_TRNG_VERSION function, which returns -1 if this interface is
not implemented.
