Paul E. McKenney c17ac85504 Make rcutorture RNG use temporal entropy 
Repost of http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/10/472 made available by request.

The locking used by get_random_bytes() can conflict with the
preempt_disable() and synchronize_sched() form of RCU.  This patch changes
rcutorture's RNG to gather entropy from the new cpu_clock() interface
(relying on interrupts, preemption, daemons, and rcutorture's reader
thread's rock-bottom scheduling priority to provide useful entropy), and
also adds and EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() to make that interface available to GPLed
kernel modules such as rcutorture.

Passes several hours of rcutorture.
