random: don't let 644 read-only sysctls be written to
commit 77553cf8 upstream. We leave around these old sysctls for compatibility, and we keep them "writable" for compatibility, but even after writing, we should keep reporting the same value. This is consistent with how userspaces tend to use sysctl_random_write_wakeup_bits, writing to it, and then later reading from it and using the value.
