Since commit 43d8a72cd985 ("random: remove variable limit") all call sites of extract_entropy() pass in zero for the 'reserved' argument and the corresponding code in account() is effectively dead. Remove it and the drop the now unused 'reserved' argument from extract_entropy() as well as from account() called therefrom.
