random: tighten bound on random_read_wakeup_thresh We use this value in a few places other than its literal meaning, in particular in _xfer_secondary_pool() as a minimum number of bits to pull from the input pool at a time into either output pool. It doesn't make sense to pull more bits than the whole size of an output pool. We could and possibly should separate the quantities "how much should the input pool have to have to wake up /dev/random readers" and "how much should we transfer from the input to an output pool at a time", but nobody is likely to be sad they can't set the first quantity to more than 1024 bits, so for now just limit them both.
