[PATCH 6/8] DRBG: remove unnecessary sanity checks

From: Stephan Mueller <hidden>
Date: 2014-08-17 15:43:26
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: crypto api, the rest · Maintainers: Herbert Xu, "David S. Miller", Linus Torvalds

The drbg_make_shadow function contains sanity checks which are not
needed as the function is invoked at times where it is ensured that the
checked-for variables are available.
