Subject: random: access primary_pool directly rather than through pointer
From: Dominik Brodowski <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit ebf7606388732ecf2821ca21087e9446cb4a5b57 upstream.
Both crng_initialize_primary() and crng_init_try_arch_early() are
only called for the primary_pool. Accessing it directly instead of
through a function parameter simplifies the code.
