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