PATCH 1/1 MAINTAINERS: remove outdated entry for crypto/rng.c

Lore shows no emails from Neil on linux-crypto since 2020. Without the listed person being active, this MAINTAINERS entry provides no value, and actually is a bit confusing because while it is called the "CRYPTOGRAPHIC RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR", it is not the CRNG that is normally used (drivers/char/random.c) which has a separate entry. Remove this entry, so crypto/rng.c will just be covered by "CRYPTO API".

This patch is targeting cryptodev/master
