commit b0c3e796f24b588b862b61ce235d3c9417dc8983 upstream.
Some implementations were returning type `unsigned long`, while others that fell back to get_cycles() were implicitly returning a `cycles_t` or an untyped constant int literal. That makes for weird and confusing code, and basically all code in the kernel already handled it like it was an `unsigned long`. I recently tried to handle it as the largest type it could be, a `cycles_t`, but doing so doesn't really help with much.
Instead let's just make random_get_entropy() return an unsigned long all the time. This also matches the commonly used `arch_get_random_long()` function, so now RDRAND and RDTSC return the same sized integer, which means one can fallback to the other more gracefully.
