random: make credit_entropy_bits() always safe
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This is called from various hwgenerator drivers, so rather than having
one "safe" version for userspace and one "unsafe" version for the
kernel, just make everything safe; the checks are cheap and sensible to
have anyway.
