kcsan: Rewrite kcsan_prandom_u32_max() without prandom_u32_state()
Rewrite kcsan_prandom_u32_max() to not depend on code that might be instrumented, removing any dependency on lib/random32.c. The rewrite implements a simple linear congruential generator, that is sufficient for our purposes (for udelay() and skip_watch counter randomness). The initial motivation for this was to allow enabling KCSAN for kernel/sched (remove KCSAN_SANITIZE := n from kernel/sched/Makefile), with CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y. Without this change, we could observe recursion: check_access() [via instrumentation] kcsan_setup_watchpoint() reset_kcsan_skip() kcsan_prandom_u32_max() get_cpu_var() preempt_disable() preempt_count_add() [in kernel/sched/core.c] check_access() [via instrumentation] Note, while this currently does not affect an unmodified kernel, it'd be good to keep a KCSAN kernel working when KCSAN_SANITIZE := n is removed from kernel/sched/Makefile to permit testing scheduler code with KCSAN if desired.
