powerpc: Use correct procedure call standard for getrandom vDSO call (bug 32440)
A plain indirect function call does not work on POWER because success and failure are signaled through a flag register, and not via the usual Linux negative return value convention. This has potential security impact, in two ways: the return value could be out of bounds (EAGAIN is 11 on powerpc6le), and no random bytes have been written despite the non-error return value. Fixes commit 461cab1de747f3842f27a5d24977d78d561d45f9 ("linux: Add support for getrandom vDSO"). Reported-by: Ján Stanček <jstancek@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com>
