stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.119 commit 9b0e0e27140d007241772cadc7df1e05292f465d category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I5L6BB

--------------------------------
commit a3f9e8910e1584d7725ef7d5ac870920d42d0bb4 upstream.
The only time that we need to wake up /dev/random writers on RNDCLEARPOOL/RNDZAPPOOL is when we're changing from a value that is greater than or equal to POOL_MIN_BITS to zero, because if we're changing from below POOL_MIN_BITS to zero, the writers are already unblocked.
