From: Dominik Brodowski <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 9d5505f1eebeca778074a0260ed077fd85f8792c upstream. crng_finalize_init() returns instantly if it is called for another pool than primary_crng. The test whether crng_finalize_init() is still required can be moved to the relevant caller in crng_reseed(), and crng_need_final_init can be reset to false if crng_finalize_init() is called with workqueues ready. Then, no previous callsite will call crng_finalize_init() unless it is needed, and we can get rid of the superfluous function parameter.
