UPSTREAM: random: strengthen input validation for RNDADDTOENTCNT
Don't allow RNDADDTOENTCNT or RNDADDENTROPY to accept a negative
entropy value. It doesn't make any sense to subtract from the entropy
counter, and it can trigger a warning:
random: negative entropy/overflow: pool input count -40000

This was triggered using the test program:
// autogenerated by syzkaller (http://github.com/google/syzkaller)
int main() {
int fd = open("/dev/random", O_RDWR);
int val = -5000;
ioctl(fd, RNDADDTOENTCNT, &val);
return 0;
}
It's harmless in that (a) only root can trigger it, and (b) after
complaining the code never does let the entropy count go negative, but
it's better to simply not allow this userspace from passing in a
negative entropy value altogether.
