lpfc: do not feed jiffies as random seed from lpfc driver
In prandom we have already reseeding mechanisms that trigger periodically from a much better entropy source than just feeding in jiffies through lpfc_mbx_cmpl_fcf_scan_read_fcf_rec() [what a function name 8-)]. Therefore, just remove this. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: James Smart <james.smart@emulex.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
