[PATCH 5/5] Replace invocation of weak PRNG in arch/x86/mm/kaslr.c

[david . keisarschm]

From: David <david.keisarschm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

We changed the invocation of
 prandom_bytes_state which is
 considered weak to get_random_bytes.
 We also omitted the call to the seeding function,
 since prandom_bytes matintains its own state,
 so there is no need for seeding here anymore.
