The register_random_ready_notifier() notifier is somewhat complicated, and was already recently rewritten to use notifier blocks. It is only used now by one consumer in the kernel, vsprintf.c, for which the async mechanism is really overly complex for what it actually needs. This commit removes register_random_ready_notifier() and unregister_random_ ready_notifier(), because it just adds complication with little utility, and changes vsprintf.c to just check on `!rng_is_initialized() && !rng_has_arch_random()`, which will eventually be true. Performance- wise, that code was already using a static branch, so there's basically no overhead at all to this change.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
