[PATCH] random: remove use_input_pool parameter from crng_reseed()

[PATCH] random: remove use_input_pool parameter from crng_reseed()

[Eric Biggers]

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>

The primary_crng is always reseeded from the input_pool, while the NUMA
crngs are always reseeded from the primary_crng.  Remove the redundant
'use_input_pool' parameter from crng_reseed() and just directly check
whether the crng is the primary_crng.

Nice simplification, thanks.
