[PATCH] crypto: drbg: fix crypto api abuse

the drbg code was binding the same buffer to two different
scatter gather lists and submitting those as source and
destination to a crypto api operation, thus potentially
causing HW crypto drivers to perform overlapping DMA
mappings which are not aware it is the same buffer.

This can have serious consequences of data corruption of
internal DRBG buffers and wrong RNG output.

Fix this by reusing the same scatter gatther list for both
src and dst.
