random: use hash function for crng_slow_load()

commit 66e4c2b9541503d721e936cc3898c9f25f4591ff upstream.

Since we have a hash function that's really fast, and the goal of
crng_slow_load() is reportedly to "touch all of the crng's state", we
can just hash the old state together with the new state and call it a
day. This way we dont need to reason about another LFSR or worry about
various attacks there. This code is only ever used at early boot and
then never again.
