[PATCH 11/9] swapfile: let others seed random

From: Hugh Dickins
Date: Sun Nov 30 2008 - 19:32:26 EST


Remove the srandom32((u32)get_seconds()) from non-rotational swapon:
there's been a coincidental discussion of earlier randomization, assume
that goes ahead, let swapon be a client rather than stirring for itself.
