  Log:
  Perform a lockless read to test whether an entropy havesting fifo is
  full, avoiding the cost of mutex operations if it is.  We re-test
  once the mutex is acquired to make sure it's still true before doing
  the -modify-write part of the read-modify-write.  Note that due to
  the maximum fifo depth being pretty deep, this is unlikely to improve
  harvesting performance yet.
