[PATCH] efi_loader: Get rid of kaslr-seed

Right now we unconditionally pass a 'kaslr-seed' property to the kernel
if the DTB we ended up in EFI includes the entry.  However the kernel
EFI stub completely ignores it and only relies on EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL.
So let's get rid of it unconditionally since it would mess up the
(upcoming) DTB TPM measuring as well.
