--------------------------------
commit 91c2afca290ed3034841c8c8532e69ed9e16cf34 upstream.
Continuing the reasoning of "random: ensure early RDSEED goes through mixer on init", we don't want RDRAND interacting with anything without going through the mixer function, as a backdoored CPU could presumably cancel out data during an xor, which it'd have a harder time doing when being forced through a cryptographic hash function. There's actually no need at all to be calling RDRAND in write_pool(), because before we extract from the pool, we always do so with 32 bytes of RDSEED hashed in at that stage. Xoring at this stage is needless and introduces a minor liability.
