[S390] prng: prevent access beyond end of stack
While initializing the state of the prng only the first 8 bytes of random data where used, the second 8 bytes were read from the memory after the stack. If only 64 bytes of the kernel stack are used and CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled a kernel panic may occur because of the invalid page access. Use the correct multiplicator to stay within the random data buffer. Signed-off-by: Jan Glauber <jang@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
