[PATCH] Random: Modification in random_init

[Prameela Rani Garnepudi]

In random_init return from the function immediately if random_entropy_file
is NULL. Because, the process of creating random_fd socket and thus,
eloop socket is unnecessary as the content read from /dev/random shall
be written to random_entropy_file which is NULL.
