[PATCH 00/11] random: code cleanups

[Greg Price]

Hi Ted, hi all,

I recently read through the random number generator's code.
This series has fixes for some minor things I spotted.

Four of the patches touch comments only.  Four simplify code without
changing its behavior (total diffstat: 35 insertions, 73 deletions),
and one is a trivial signedness fix.  Two patches change the locking
and lockless concurrency control in account(), including one bugfix.
The bug is related to the one Jiri found and fixed in May.

Cheers,
Greg
