hwrng: cleanup in hwrng_register()

My static checker complains that:

	drivers/char/hw_random/core.c:341 hwrng_register()
	warn: we tested 'old_rng' before and it was 'false'

The problem is that sometimes we test "if (!old_rng)" and sometimes we
test "if (must_register_misc)".  The static checker knows they are
equivalent but a human being reading the code could easily be confused.

I have simplified the code by removing the "must_register_misc" variable
and I have removed the redundant check on "if (!old_rng)".
