random32: move the pseudo-random 32-bit definitions to prandom.h
commit c0842fbc upstream. The addition of percpu.h to the list of includes in random.h revealed some circular dependencies on arm64 and possibly other platforms. This include was added solely for the pseudo-random definitions, which have nothing to do with the rest of the definitions in this file but are still there for legacy reasons. This patch moves the pseudo-random parts to linux/prandom.h and the percpu.h include with it, which is now guarded by _LINUX_PRANDOM_H and protected against recursive inclusion. A further cleanup step would be to remove this from <linux/random.h> entirely, and make people who use the prandom infrastructure include just the new header file. That's a bit of a churn patch, but grepping for "prandom_" and "next_pseudo_random32" "struct rnd_state" should catch most users. But it turns out that that nice cleanup step is fairly painful, because a _lot_ of code currently seems to depend on the implicit include of <linux/random.h>, which can currently come in a lot of ways, including such fairly core headfers as <linux/net.h>. So the "nice cleanup" part may or may never happen.
