Subject: [PATCH 4.9 126/264] random: tie batched entropy generation to base_crng generation

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

commit 0791e8b655cc373718f0f58800fdc625a3447ac5 upstream.

Now that we have an explicit base_crng generation counter, we don't need
a separate one for batched entropy. Rather, we can just move the
generation forward every time we change crng_init state or update the
base_crng key.
