lib/test_vmalloc: switch to prandom_u32()
A get_random_bytes() function can cause a high contention if it is called across CPUs simultaneously. Because it shares one lock per all CPUs: <snip> class name con-bounces contentions waittime-min waittime-max waittime-total waittime-avg acq-bounces acquisitions holdtime-min holdtime-max holdtime-total holdtime-avg &crng->lock: 663145 665886 0.05 8.85 261966.66 0.39 7188152 13731279 0.04 11.89 2181582.30 0.16 ----------- &crng->lock 307835 [<00000000acba59cd>] _extract_crng+0x48/0x90 &crng->lock 358051 [<00000000f0075abc>] _crng_backtrack_protect+0x32/0x90 ----------- &crng->lock 234241 [<00000000f0075abc>] _crng_backtrack_protect+0x32/0x90 &crng->lock 431645 [<00000000acba59cd>] _extract_crng+0x48/0x90 <snip> Switch from the get_random_bytes() to prandom_u32() that does not have any internal contention when a random value is needed for the tests. The reason is to minimize CPU cycles introduced by the test-suite itself from the vmalloc performance metrics.
