When building the jitterentropy driver by itself, we get a link error
when CRYPTO_RNG is not enabled as well:
crypto/built-in.o: In function `jent_mod_init':
jitterentropy-kcapi.c:(.init.text+0x98): undefined reference to `crypto_register_rng'
crypto/built-in.o: In function `jent_mod_exit':
jitterentropy-kcapi.c:(.exit.text+0x60): undefined reference to `crypto_unregister_rng'
This moves the 'select CRYPTO_RNG' from CRYPTO_DRBG to CRYPTO_JITTERENTROPY
to ensure the API is always there when it's used, not just when DRBG is
also enabled.

I think we should leave this there as DRBG itself is an RNG and
it just uses JITTERENTROPY which happens to be an RNG.
Otherwise this looks OK to me.
Thanks,

Good idea. Should I resend a modified version or do you want to just
adapt it yourself?
