Subject: [PATCH 4.9 097/264] random: remove incomplete last_data logic

From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@...c4.com>

commit a4bfa9b31802c14ff5847123c12b98d5e36b3985 upstream.

There were a few things added under the "if (fips_enabled)" banner,
which never really got completed, and the FIPS people anyway are
choosing a different direction. Rather than keep around this halfbaked
code, get rid of it so that we can focus on a single design of the RNG
rather than two designs.
