[v10.x] deps:openssl: cherry-pick c19c5a6 from upstream

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/ofrobots/fix-28932 into v10.x-staging

Original commit message:

Revert the DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature

The DEVRANDOM_WAIT feature added a select() call to wait for the
`/dev/random` device to become readable before reading from the
`/dev/urandom` device. It was introduced in commit 38023b8
in order to mitigate the fact that the `/dev/urandom` device
does not block until the initial seeding of the kernel CSPRNG
has completed, contrary to the behaviour of the `getrandom()`
system call.

It turned out that this change had negative side effects on the
performance which were not acceptable. After some discussion it
was decided to revert this feature and leave it up to the OS
resp. the platform maintainer to ensure a proper initialization
during early boot time.

Fixes 9078

This partially reverts commit 38023b8.
