[PATCH] crypto: jitterentropy - bind statically into kernel

The RISC-V architecture is about to implement the callback
random_get_entropy with a function that is not exported to modules.
Thus, the Jitter RNG is changed to be only bound statically into the
kernel removing the option to compile it as module.
