Coverity: add_early_randomness(): Integer handling issues

[coverity-bot <keescook@chromium.org>]

Hello!

This is an experimental semi-automated report about issues detected by
Coverity from a scan of next-20221108 as part of the linux-next scan project:

You're getting this email because you were associated with the identified

    e0a37003ff0b ("hw_random: use add_hwgenerator_randomness() for early entropy")

Coverity reported the following:

*** CID 1527234:  Integer handling issues  (SIGN_EXTENSION)
drivers/char/hw_random/core.c:73 in add_early_randomness()
67     	int bytes_read;
68
69     	mutex_lock(&reading_mutex);
70     	bytes_read = rng_get_data(rng, rng_fillbuf, 32, 0);
71     	mutex_unlock(&reading_mutex);
72     	if (bytes_read > 0) {
vvv     CID 1527234:  Integer handling issues  (SIGN_EXTENSION)
vvv     Suspicious implicit sign extension: "rng->quality" with type "unsigned short" (16 bits, unsigned) is promoted in "bytes_read * 8 * rng->quality / 1024" to type "int" (32 bits, signed), then sign-extended to type "unsigned long" (64 bits, unsigned).  If "bytes_read * 8 * rng->quality / 1024" is greater than 0x7FFFFFFF, the upper bits of the result will all be 1.
73     		size_t entropy = bytes_read * 8 * rng->quality / 1024;
74     		add_hwgenerator_randomness(rng_fillbuf, bytes_read, entropy, false);
75     	}
76     }

78     static inline void cleanup_rng(struct kref *kref)

If this is a false positive, please let us know so we can mark it as
such, or teach the Coverity rules to be smarter. If not, please make
sure fixes get into linux-next. :) For patches fixing this, please
include these lines (but double-check the "Fixes" first):
