The actual minimum size of the pool across supported kernel versions is 32 bytes. So adjust this minimum. I've audited every single usage of random_pool_size(), and cannot see anywhere that this would have any impact at all on anything. We could actually just not change the constant and everything would be fine, or we could change it here and that's fine too. From both a functionality and crypto perspective, it doesn't really seem to make a substantive difference any which way, so long as the value is ≥32. However, it's better to be correct and have the function do what it says, so clamp it to the right minimum.
