From: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 5e747dd9be54be190dd6ebeebf4a4a01ba765625 upstream. Ever since "random: kill dead extract_state struct" [1], the dont_count_entropy member of struct timer_rand_state has been effectively unused. Since it hasn't found a new use in 12 years, it's probably safe to finally kill it.
