[PATCH tip/core/rcu 1/2] kcsan: Rewrite kcsan_prandom_u32_max() without prandom_u32_state()

[paulmck]

From: Marco Elver <elver@xxxxxxxxxx>

Rewrite kcsan_prandom_u32_max() to not depend on code that might be
instrumented, removing any dependency on lib/random32.c. The rewrite
implements a simple linear congruential generator, that is sufficient
for our purposes (for udelay() and skip_watch counter randomness).

The initial motivation for this was to allow enabling KCSAN for
kernel/sched (remove KCSAN_SANITIZE := n from kernel/sched/Makefile),
with CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y. Without this change, we could observe
recursion:

	check_access() [via instrumentation]
	  kcsan_setup_watchpoint()
	    reset_kcsan_skip()
	      kcsan_prandom_u32_max()
	        get_cpu_var()
		  preempt_disable()
		    preempt_count_add() [in kernel/sched/core.c]
		      check_access() [via instrumentation]

Note, while this currently does not affect an unmodified kernel, it'd be
good to keep a KCSAN kernel working when KCSAN_SANITIZE := n is removed
from kernel/sched/Makefile to permit testing scheduler code with KCSAN
if desired.
