[SRU][F/aws][PATCH 4/5] random: ignore GRND_RANDOM in getentropy(2)

[Andrea Righi]

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto at kernel.org>

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1927692

The separate blocking pool is going away.  Start by ignoring
GRND_RANDOM in getentropy(2).

This should not materially break any API.  Any code that worked
without this change should work at least as well with this change.
