hwrng: bcm2835 - Fix hwrng throughput regression

Browse Source 
The last RCU stall fix caused a massive throughput regression of the
hwrng on Raspberry Pi 0 - 3. hwrng_msleep doesn't sleep precisely enough
and usleep_range doesn't allow scheduling. So try to restore the
best possible throughput by introducing hwrng_yield which interruptable
sleeps for one jiffy.

Some performance measurements on Raspberry Pi 3B+ (arm64/defconfig):

sudo dd if=/dev/hwrng of=/dev/null count=1 bs=10000

cpu_relax              ~138025 Bytes / sec
hwrng_msleep(1000)         ~13 Bytes / sec
hwrng_yield              ~2510 Bytes / sec

Fixes: 96cb9d0554 ("hwrng: bcm2835 - use hwrng_msleep() instead of cpu_relax()")
