Subject: random: remove extern from functions in header
From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 7782cfeca7d420e8bb707613d4cfb0f7ff29bb3a upstream.
Accoriding to the kernel style guide, having `extern` on functions in
headers is old school and deprecated, and doesn't add anything. So remove
them from random.h, and tidy up the file a little bit too.
