[RFC PATCH 11/41] random: convert add_timer_randomness() to queued_entropy API

From: Nicolai Stange
Date: Mon Sep 21 2020 - 04:00:32 EST


In an effort to drop __credit_entropy_bits_fast() in favor of the new
__queue_entropy()/__dispatch_queued_entropy_fast() API, convert
add_timer_randomness() from the former to the latter.

There is no change in functionality at this point, because
__credit_entropy_bits_fast() has already been reimplemented on top of the
new API before.
