Matt Mackall cda796a3d5 random: don't try to look at entropy_count outside the lock
As a non-atomic value, it's only safe to look at entropy_count when the
pool lock is held, so we move the BUG_ON inside the lock for correctness.

Also remove the spurious comment.  It's ok for entropy_count to
temporarily exceed POOLBITS so long as it's left in a consistent state
when the lock is released.

This is a more correct, simple, and idiomatic fix for the bug in
8b76f46a2d.  I've left the reorderings introduced by that patch in place
as they're harmless, even though they don't properly deal with potential
atomicity issues.
