As the comment said, this is indeed a "hack". Since it was introduced, it's been a constant state machine nightmare, with lots of subtle early boot issues and a wildly complex set of machinery to keep everything in sync. Rather than continuing to play whack-a-mole with this approach, this commit simply removes it entirely. This commit is preparation for "random: use simpler fast key erasure flow on per-cpu keys" in this series, which introduces a simpler (and faster) mechanism to accomplish the same thing.

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.
