Merge tag 'random_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/random

Pull random changes from Ted Ts'o:
 "Change /dev/random so that it uses the CRNG and only blocking if the
  CRNG hasn't initialized, instead of the old blocking pool. Also clean
  up archrandom.h, and some other miscellaneous cleanups"
