Subtract the minimum padding between regions from the initial
remain_entropy. Without this, the last region could potentially
overflow past vaddr_end if we happen to get a specific sequence
of random numbers (although extremely unlikely in practice).
The bug can be demonstrated by replacing the prandom_bytes_state
call with "rand = entropy;"
