    random: always fill buffer in get_random_bytes_wait · 25e3fca4

    In the unfortunate event that a developer fails to check the return
    value of get_random_bytes_wait, or simply wants to make a "best effort"
    attempt, for whatever that's worth, it's much better to still fill the
    buffer with _something_ rather than catastrophically failing in the case
    of an interruption. This is both a defense in depth measure against
    inevitable programming bugs, as well as a means of making the API a bit
    more useful.
