random: add async notification support to /dev/random
Add async notification support to /dev/random.
A little test case is below. Without this patch, you get:
$ ./async-random
Drained the pool
Found more randomness
With it, you get:
$ ./async-random
Drained the pool
SIGIO
Found more randomness
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

{
int fd, n, err, flags;
