When testing the RNG functionality on the Atmel SHA204a hardware, rngtest
reported failures. Fix start of reading and size of fetched data.
I verified and applied Ard's solution (tagged it with sugtgested-by, pls
tell me if I used the wrong tag).

v3 -> v4: rephrase commit title; fix typos in commit message;
replace index literal by `RSP_DATA_IDX`
v3 -> v4: Reduce seet and set focus on RNG fix, blocking and nonblocking
v2 -> v3: Removal blank line, rebased
v1 -> v2: Removal of C++ style comment

The blocking and non-blocking paths were failing to provide valid entropy
due to improper buffer management. Reading the buffer starting from byte 1,
only fetch the 32 bytes of random data from the return message.
Tested on an Atmel SHA204A device.
Before (here for blocking), tests showed repeatedly reading reduced bytes.
$ head -c 32 /dev/hwrng | hexdump -C
00000000 02 28 85 b3 47 40 f2 ee 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |.(..G@..........|
00000010 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................|
00000020
After, the result will be similar to the following:
$ head -c 32 /dev/hwrng | hexdump -C
00000000 5a fc 3f 13 14 68 fe 06 68 0a bd 04 83 6e 09 69 |Z.?..h..h....n.i|
