[PATCH 7/8] random: remove noop function call to xfer_secondary_pool

From: Stephan Müller
Date: Tue Dec 27 2016 - 17:45:04 EST


Since the introduction of the ChaCha20 DRNG, extract_entropy is only
invoked with the input_pool. For this entropy pool, xfer_secondary_pool
is a no-op and can therefore be safely removed.
