description:
Tweak VIA CPU RNG.

- Cite source for documentation.
- Omit needless kpreempt_disable/enable.
- Explain what's going on.
- Use "D"(out) rather than "+D"(out) -- no REP so no register update.
- Fix interpretation of number of bytes returned.

The last one is likely to address

[   4.0518619] aes: VIA ACE
....
[  11.7018582] cpu_rng via: failed repetition test
[  12.4718583] entropy: ready
