random: ignore GRND_RANDOM in getentropy(2)

commit 48446f198f9adcb499b30332488dfd5bc3f176f6 upstream.

The separate blocking pool is going away.  Start by ignoring
GRND_RANDOM in getentropy(2).

This should not materially break any API.  Any code that worked
without this change should work at least as well with this change.
