Revert "efi: random: refresh non-volatile random seed when RNG is initialized"
This reverts commit e7b813b32a42a3a6281a4fd9ae7700a0257c1d50 (and the
subsequent fix for it: 41a15855c1ee "efi: random: fix NULL-deref when
refreshing seed").
It turns otu to cause non-deterministic boot stalls on at least a HP
6730b laptop.
