[PATCH v2] powerpc: Use correct procedure call standard for getrandom vDSO call (bug 32440)
Florian Weimer

A plain indirect function call does not work on POWER because
success and failure are signalled through are flag register, and
not via the usual Linux negative return value convention.
This has potential security impact, in two ways: the return value
could be out of bounds (EAGAIN is 11 on powerpc6le), and no
random bytes have been written despite the non-error return value.
Fixes commit 461cab1de747f3842f27a5d24977d78d561d45f9 ("linux: Add
support for getrandom vDSO").

v2: Update second call site, too (although the change should not matter
there). Use long int return type, to follow convention.
