Does the attached fix it?

Subject: [PATCH] random32: move the pseudo-random 32-bit definitions to prandom.h

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" should catch most users.
