From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

commit 90b5d4fe0b3ba7f589c6723c6bfb559d9e83956a upstream.

On a bare-metal Power8 system that doesn't have an "ibm,power-rng", a
malicious QEMU and guest that ignore the absence of the
KVM_CAP_PPC_HWRNG flag, and calls H_RANDOM anyway, will dereference a
NULL pointer.

In practice all Power8 machines have an "ibm,power-rng", but let's not
rely on that, add a NULL check and early return in
powernv_get_random_real_mode().

Fixes: e928e9cb3601 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add fast real-mode H_RANDOM implementation.")
