Subject: [PATCH 5.10 061/163] random: remove use_input_pool parameter from crng_reseed()

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>

commit 5d58ea3a31cc98b9fa563f6921d3d043bf0103d1 upstream.

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.
