random: use memmove instead of memcpy for remaining 32 bytes
In order to immediately overwrite the old key on the stack, before
servicing a userspace request for bytes, we use the remaining 32 bytes
of block 0 as the key. This means moving indices 8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f ->
4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b. Since 4 < 8, for the kernel implementations of
memcpy(), this doesn't actually appear to be a problem in practice. But
relying on that characteristic seems a bit brittle. So let's change that
to a proper memmove(), which is the by-the-books way of handling
overlapping memory copies.
