Since add_vmfork_randomness() is only called from vmgenid.o, we can guard it in CONFIG_VMGENID, similarly to how we do with add_disk_randomness() and CONFIG_BLOCK. If we ever have multiple things calling into add_vmfork_randomness(), we can add another shared Kconfig symbol for that, but for now, this is good enough. Even though add_vmfork_randomess() is a pretty small function, removing it means that there are only calls to crng_reseed(false) and none to crng_reseed(true), which means the compiler can constant propagate the false, removing branches from crng_reseed() and its descendants. Additionally, we don't even need the symbol to be exported if CONFIG_VMGENID is not a module, so conditionalize that too.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
