stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.119 commit bb563d06c5bc3d08bd5c8665d6b1da6865114cfd category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I5L6BB
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=...
--------------------------------
commit dd7aa36e535797926d8eb311da7151919130139d upstream.
The comment about get_random_{u32,u64}() not invoking reseeding got added in an unrelated commit, that then was recently reverted by 0313bc278dac ("Revert "random: block in /dev/urandom""). So this adds that little comment snippet back, and improves the wording a bit too.
