linux-next: build failure after merge of the random tree

Hi all,

After merging the random tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

arch/x86/mm/cpu_entry_area.c: In function 'init_cea_offsets':
arch/x86/mm/cpu_entry_area.c:38:23: error: implicit declaration of function 'prandom_u32_max'; did you mean 'prandom_u32_state'? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
38 | cea = prandom_u32_max(max_cea);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| prandom_u32_state
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

Caused by commit

921b09c09fe7 ("prandom: remove prandom_u32_max()")

interacting with commit

1248fb6a8201 ("x86/mm: Randomize per-cpu entry area")

from the tip tree.

I have applied the following fix up patch for today.
