random: fix comment for unused random_min_urandom_seed
The variable random_min_urandom_seed is not needed any more as it defined the reseeding behavior of the nonblocking pool. Though it is not needed any more, it is left in the code for user space interface compatibility. Signed-off-by: Stephan Mueller <smueller@chronox.de> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
