[PATCH 4.9 222/264] random: avoid checking crng_ready() twice in random_init()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Jun 23 2022 - 13:16:34 EST


From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 9b29b6b20376ab64e1b043df6301d8a92378e631 upstream.

The current flow expands to:

if (crng_ready())
...
else if (...)
if (!crng_ready())
...

The second crng_ready() call is redundant, but can't so easily be
optimized out by the compiler.

This commit simplifies that to:

if (crng_ready()
...
else if (...)
...
