crypto: jitter - set default OSR to 3
The user space Jitter RNG library uses the oversampling rate of 3 which implies that each time stamp is credited with 1/3 bit of entropy. To obtain 256 bits of entropy, 768 time stamps need to be sampled. The increase in OSR is applied based on a report where the Jitter RNG is used on a system exhibiting a challenging environment to collect entropy. This OSR default value is now applied to the Linux kernel version of the Jitter RNG as well. The increase in the OSR from 1 to 3 also implies that the Jitter RNG is now slower by default.
