We no longer need at least 64 bytes of random seed to permit the early crng init to complete. The RNG is now based on Blake2s, so reduce the EFI seed size to the Blake2s hash size, which is sufficient for our purposes. While at it, drop the READ_ONCE(), which was supposed to prevent size from being evaluated after seed was unmapped. However, this cannot actually happen, so READ_ONCE() is unnecessary here.

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.
