Florian Weimer 4f5704ea34 powerpc: Use correct procedure call standard for getrandom vDSO call (bug 32440)
A plain indirect function call does not work on POWER because
success and failure are signaled through a flag register, and
not via the usual Linux negative return value convention.

This has potential security impact, in two ways: the return value
could be out of bounds (EAGAIN is 11 on powerpc6le), and no
random bytes have been written despite the non-error return value.

Fixes commit 461cab1de7 ("linux: Add
support for getrandom vDSO").
