Seth found that the CPU-entry-area; the piece of per-cpu data that is
mapped into the userspace page-tables for kPTI is not subject to any
randomization -- irrespective of kASLR settings.

On x86_64 a whole P4D (512 GB) of virtual address space is reserved for
this structure, which is plenty large enough to randomize things a
little.

As such, use a straight forward randomization scheme that avoids
duplicates to spread the existing CPUs over the available space.
