crypto: jitter - reuse allocated entropy collector
In case a health test error occurs during runtime, the power-up health tests are rerun to verify that the noise source is still good and that the reported health test error was an outlier. For performing this power-up health test, the already existing entropy collector instance is used instead of allocating a new one. This change has the following implications: * The noise that is collected as part of the newly run health tests is inserted into the entropy collector and thus stirs the existing data present in there further. Thus, the entropy collected during the health test is not wasted. This is also allowed by SP800-90B. * The power-on health test is not affected by the state of the entropy collector, because it resets the APT / RCT state. The remainder of the state is unrelated to the health test as it is only applied to newly obtained time stamps. This change also fixes a bug report about an allocation while in an atomic lock (the lock is taken in jent_kcapi_random, jent_read_entropy is called and this can call jent_entropy_init).
