commit a254a0e4093fce8c832414a83940736067eed515 upstream.

Now that have_bytes is never modified, we can simplify this function.
First, we move the check for negative entropy_count to be first. That
ensures that subsequent reads of this will be non-negative. Then,
have_bytes and ibytes can be folded into their one use site in the
min_t() function.
