crypto: drbg - remove check for uninitialized DRBG handle
The drbg_healthcheck() contained 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 have been removed in previous patches. Now, the drbg_healthcheck test must also be removed. Changes V2: Added patch marker to email subject line.
