    random: remove mostly unused async readiness notifier · 6701de6c
    Jason A. Donenfeld authored
    The register_random_ready_notifier() notifier is somewhat complicated,
    and was already recently rewritten to use notifier blocks. It is only
    used now by one consumer in the kernel, vsprintf.c, for which the async
    mechanism is really overly complex for what it actually needs. This
    commit removes register_random_ready_notifier() and unregister_random_
    ready_notifier(), because it just adds complication with little utility,
    and changes vsprintf.c to just check on `!rng_is_initialized() &&
    !rng_has_arch_random()`, which will eventually be true. Performance-
    wise, that code was already using a static branch, so there's basically
    no overhead at all to this change.
