xfer_secondary_pool() in drivers/char/random.c tells add_entropy_words()
to use uninitialized tmp[] whenever bytes is not a multiple of 4.
Besides being unfriendly to automated dynamic checkers, this is a
potential leak of user data into the output stream.  When called from
extract_entropy_user, then uninit tmp[] can capture leftover data
from a previous copy_from_user().
