[PATCH 1/2] crypto: jitterentropy - drop redundant delta check in jent_entropy_init

[PATCH 1/2] crypto: jitterentropy - drop redundant delta check in jent_entropy_init

[Thorsten Blum]

Since start_time = end_time - delta, start_time can only equal end_time
when delta is 0, making the explicit end_time == start_time check
redundant. Remove it.
