hwrng: core - correct error check of kthread_run call

The kthread_run() function can return two different error values
but the hwrng core only checks for -ENOMEM. If the other error
value -EINTR is returned it is assigned to hwrng_fill and later
used on a kthread_stop() call which naturally crashes.
