[PATCH 5/8] random: remove variable limit

Show all headers | View raw

The variable limit was used to identify the nonblocking pool's unlimited
random number generation. As the nonblocking pool is a thing of the
past, remove the limit variable and any conditions around it (i.e.
preserve the branches for limit == 1).
