random: allow partial reads if later user copies fail

Rather than failing entirely if a copy_to_user() fails at some point,
instead we should return a partial read for the amount that succeeded
prior, unless none succeeded at all, in which case we return -EFAULT as
before.

This makes it consistent with other reader interfaces. For example, the
following snippet for /dev/zero outputs "4" followed by "1":

  int fd;
  void *x = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_WRITE, MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0);
  assert(x != MAP_FAILED);
  fd = open("/dev/zero", O_RDONLY);
  assert(fd >= 0);
  printf("%zd\n", read(fd, x, 4));
  printf("%zd\n", read(fd, x + 4095, 4));
  close(fd);

This brings that same standard behavior to the various RNG reader
interfaces.

While we're at it, we can streamline the loop logic a little bit.
