crypto: drbg - Clean up generation code
A few miscellaneous cleanups to make the code a bit more readable: - Replace (buf, buflen) with (out, outlen) - Update (out, outlen) as we go along - Use size_t for lengths - Use min() - Adjust some comments and log messages - Rename a variable named 'len' to 'err', since it isn't a length Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
