/* Wrapper function allowing the classic API to use the PSA RNG.
* In the non-external case, mbedtls_psa_get_random is defined
* as a constant function pointer in psa_crypto_random_impl.h.
*
* `mbedtls_psa_get_random(MBEDTLS_PSA_RANDOM_STATE, ...)` calls
* `psa_generate_random(...)`. The state parameter is ignored since the
* PSA API doesn't support passing an explicit state.
*
* In the non-external case, psa_generate_random() calls an
* `mbedtls_xxx_drbg_random` function which has exactly the same signature
* and semantics as mbedtls_psa_get_random(). As an optimization,
* instead of doing this back-and-forth between the PSA API and the
* classic API, psa_crypto_random_impl.h defines `mbedtls_psa_get_random`
* as a constant function pointer to `mbedtls_xxx_drbg_random`.
