[0/3] No longer default to HW_RANDOM when UML_RANDOM is the trigger

This is a small patch series that makes the already existing HW_RANDOM_*
options in the hw_random Kconfig selected by default only when the
UML_RANDOM option isn't already selected.  Having the HW_RANDOM_* options
selected doesn't make much sense for user-mode Linux (UML), which obviously
cannot make use of any HWRNG devices.

Along the way, some additional trivial cleanups of the hw_random Kconfig
file are also performed as spotted, in separate patches.

Dragan Simic (3):
  hwrng: Use tabs as leading whitespace consistently in Kconfig
  hwrng: Move one "tristate" Kconfig description to the usual place
  hwrng: Don't default to HW_RANDOM when UML_RANDOM is the trigger
