random: get rid of secondary crngs
stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.119 commit 70377ee0740caaf264d3451252b9d8dea6684b1d category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I5L6BB Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=70377ee0740caaf264d3451252b9d8dea6684b1d -------------------------------- commit a9412d51 upstream. As the comment said, this is indeed a "hack". Since it was introduced, it's been a constant state machine nightmare, with lots of subtle early boot issues and a wildly complex set of machinery to keep everything in sync. Rather than continuing to play whack-a-mole with this approach, this commit simply removes it entirely. This commit is preparation for "random: use simpler fast key erasure flow on per-cpu keys" in this series, which introduces a simpler (and faster) mechanism to accomplish the same thing.
