From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@xxxxxxxxx> commit 1daf2f387652bf3a7044aea042f5023b3f6b189b upstream. This has no real functional change, as crng_pre_init_inject() (and before that, crng_slow_init()) always checks for == 0, not >= 2. So correct the outer unlocked change to reflect that. Before this used crng_ready(), which was not correct.
