No need for extra RNG entropy collection with kernel >= 5.4

Emanuele Aina requested to merge wip/em/drop-rngd into apertis/v2022dev3

In Linux 5.4 a new in kernel jitter entropy collector has been added, removing the need for the user-space jitterentropy-rngd collector.

Since we now ship with linux >= 5.10 we can now drop the extra packages.
