[PATCH v2 1/2] test: dm: virtio_rng: Update virtio-rng test

From: Kavin Gunasekara <kavin.gunasekara at arm.com>
The virtio-rng test to verify effective handling of oversized return
buffers checks that an (undocumented) error is raised, instead of the
real concern, which is the surrounding buffer integrity following a rng
function call.
Update the test to check that the other contents of a buffer remain
unchanged instead of looking for an error code.
