Kyle Evans 6895cade94 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.
