crypto: prng - Deterministic CPRNG

This patch adds a cryptographic pseudo-random number generator based on CTR(AES-128). It is meant to be used in cases where a deterministic CPRNG is required. One of the first applications will be as an input in the IPsec IV generation process. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <[email protected]>
