random: avoid checking crng_ready() twice in random_init() 

commit 9b29b6b203 upstream.

The current flow expands to:

    if (crng_ready())
       ...
    else if (...)
        if (!crng_ready())
            ...

The second crng_ready() call is redundant, but can't so easily be
optimized out by the compiler.

This commit simplifies that to:

    if (crng_ready()
        ...
    else if (...)
        ...
