random: remove some prefetch logic
The urandom output pool (ie the fast path) fits in one cacheline, so this is pretty unnecessary. Further, the output path has already fetched the entire pool to hash it before calling in here. (This was the only user of prefetch_range in the kernel, and it passed in words rather than bytes!)
