kcapi_rng_init - initialize cipher handle
int kcapi_rng_init(struct kcapi_handle ** handle, const char * ciphername, uint32_t flags);
handle

This function provides the initialization of a random number generator handle and establishes the connection to the kernel.
On success, a pointer to kcapi_handle object is returned in *handle. Function kcapi_rng_destroy should be called afterwards to free resources.
return 0 upon success; -ENOENT - algorithm not available; -EOPNOTSUPP - AF_ALG family not available; -EINVAL - accept syscall failed -ENOMEM - cipher handle cannot be allocated
