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").
