[PATCH] random: account for arch randomness in bits

From: Jason A. Donenfeld
Date: Tue Jun 07 2022 - 11:07:23 EST


Rather than accounting in bytes and multiplying (shifting), we can just
account in bits and avoid the shift. The main motivation for this is
there are other patches in flux that expand this code a bit, and
avoiding the duplication of "* 8" everywhere makes things a bit clearer.
