random: Add optional continuous repetition test to entropy store based rngs
FIPS-140 requires that all random number generators implement continuous self tests in which each extracted block of data is compared against the last block for repetition. The ansi_cprng implements such a test, but it would be nice if the hw rng's did the same thing. Obviously its not something thats always needed, but it seems like it would be a nice feature to have on occasion. I've written the below patch which allows individual entropy stores to be flagged as desiring a continuous test to be run on them as is extracted. By default this option is off, but is enabled in the event that fips mode is selected during bootup.
