Since it is called on every single interrupt, on systems with a very heavy interrupt load, this can make a noticeable difference. Also fix a compilation warning in add_interrupt_randomness() and avoid xor'ing cycles and jiffies together just in case we have an architecture which tries to define random_get_entropy() by returning jiffies.
