    kern: random: drop read_rate and associated functionality
    
    Refer to discussion in PR 230808 for a less incomplete discussion, but
    the gist of this change is that we currently collect orders of magnitude
    more entropy than we need.
    
    The excess comes from bytes being read out of /dev/*random.  The default
    rate at which we collect entropy without the read_rate increase is
    already more than we need to recover from a compromise of an internal
    state.
