Donenfeld" commit dd7aa36e535797926d8eb311da7151919130139d upstream. The comment about get_random_{u32,u64}() not invoking reseeding got added in an unrelated commit, that then was recently reverted by 0313bc278dac ("Revert "random: block in /dev/urandom""). So this adds that little comment snippet back, and improves the wording a bit too. Reviewed-by: Dominik Brodowski Signed-off-by: Jason A.
