Subject: DRBG: remove test for uninitialized DRBG handle

From: Stephan Mueller <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2014 09:17:03 +0200

The drbg_healthcheck() contains a test to call the DRBG with an
uninitialized DRBG cipher handle. As this is an inappropriate use of the
kernel crypto API to try to generate random numbers before
initialization, checks verifying for an initialized DRBG during the
generate function have been removed in previous patches.

Now, the drbg_healthcheck test trying to generate random numbers with
an uninstantiated DRBG must also be removed.
