[PATCH v2 04/11] riscv: use ktime_read_raw_clock() for random_get_entropy() instead of zero

[Jason A. Donenfeld]

In the event that random_get_entropy() can't access a cycle counter or
similar, falling back to returning 0 is really not the best we can do.
Instead, at least calling ktime_read_raw_clock() would be preferable,
because that always needs to return _something_, even falling back to
jiffies eventually. It's not as though ktime_read_raw_clock() is super
high precision or guaranteed to be entropic, but basically anything
that's not zero all the time is better than returning zero all the time.
