random: remove ifdef'd out interrupt bench

Browse Source 
commit 95e6060c20 upstream.

With tools like kbench9000 giving more finegrained responses, and this
basically never having been used ever since it was initially added,
let's just get rid of this. There *is* still work to be done on the
interrupt handler, but this really isn't the way it's being developed.
