crypto: drbg - replace int2byte with cpu_to_be

The DRBG requires the conversion of an integer into a string
representation of that integer. The previous implementation converted
the given integer byte-wise. However, the kernel offers the cpu_to_be
function which already re-arranges the memory representation of an
integer such that it applies when interpreting the same memory as
character string.

The change therefore uses an integer-cast / union of the target
character array together with the cpu_to_be function to convert an
integer into its string representation.

Tests show that the Hash and CTR DRBG implementations (the HMAC DRBG
does not require such conversion) is about 10% faster (or requires less
computing power, respectively).
