Subject: m68k: Rework BI_VIRT_RNG_SEED as BI_RNG_SEED

From: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@xxxxxxxxx>

commit dc63a086daee92c63e392e4e7cd7ed61f3693026 upstream.

This is useful on !virt platforms for kexec, so change things from
BI_VIRT_RNG_SEED to be BI_RNG_SEED, and simply remove BI_VIRT_RNG_SEED
because it only ever lasted one release, and nothing is broken by not
having it. At the same time, keep a comment noting that it's been
removed, so that ID isn't reused. In addition, we previously documented
2-byte alignment, but 4-byte alignment is actually necessary, so update
that comment.
