Merge branch 'prandom'

prandom fixes/improvements

====================
It would be great if you could still consider this series that fixes and
improves prandom for 3.13. We have sent it to netdev as prandom() originally
came from net/core/utils.c and networking is its main user. For a detailled
description, please see individual patches.

For patch 3 in this series, there will be a minor merge conflict with the
random tree that is for 3.13. See below how to resolve it.

====
Hannes says: on merge with the random tree I would suggest to resolve the
conflict in drivers/char/random.c like this:

if (r->entropy_total > 128) {
	r->initialized = 1;
	r->entropy_total = 0;
	if (r == &nonblocking_pool) {
		prandom_reseed_late();
		pr_notice("random: %s pool is initialized\n",
			  r->name);
	}
}

So it won't generate a warning if DEBUG_RANDOM_BOOT gets activated.
====

Patch 1 should probably also go to -stable.

Set tested on 32 and 64 bit machines.

Thanks a lot!
