random: remove early archrandom abstraction
The arch_get_random*_early() abstraction is not completely useful and adds complexity, because it's not a given that there will be no calls to arch_get_random*() between random_init_early(), which uses arch_get_random*_early(), and init_cpu_features(). During that gap, crng_reseed() might be called, which uses arch_get_random*(), since it's mostly not init code. Instead we can test whether we're in the early phase in arch_get_random*() itself, and in doing so avoid all ambiguity about where we are. Fortunately, the only architecture that currently implements arch_get_random*_early() also has an alternatives-based cpu feature system, one flag of which determines whether the other flags have been initialized. This makes it possible to do the early check with zero cost once the system is initialized.
