random: check for signal_pending() outside of need_resched() check
signal_pending() checks TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL and TIF_SIGPENDING, which
signal that the task should bail out of the syscall when possible. This
is a separate concept from need_resched(), which checks
TIF_NEED_RESCHED, signaling that the task should preempt.
In particular, with the current code, the signal_pending() bailout
probably won't work reliably.
Change this to look like other functions that read lots of data, such as
read_zero().
