2015-10-08once: make helper generic for calling functions onceHannes Frederic Sowa
Make the get_random_once() helper generic enough, so that functions in general would only be called once, where one user of this is then net_get_random_once(). The only implementation specific call is to get_random_bytes(), all the rest of this *_once() facility would be duplicated among different subsystems otherwise. The new DO_ONCE() helper will be used by prandom() later on, but might also be useful for other scenarios/subsystems as well where a one-time initialization in often-called, possibly fast path code could occur.

2015-10-08net: move net_get_random_once to libHannes Frederic Sowa
There's no good reason why users outside of networking should not be using this facility, f.e. for initializing their seeds. Therefore, make it accessible from there as get_random_once().
