On a bare-metal Power8 system that doesn't have an "ibm,power-rng", a
malicious QEMU and guest that ignore the absence of the
KVM_CAP_PPC_HWRNG flag, and calls H_RANDOM anyway, will dereference a
NULL pointer.

In practice all Power8 machines have an "ibm,power-rng", but let's not
rely on that, add a NULL check and early return in
powernv_get_random_real_mode().
