Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
 "Though there's been a decent amount of RNG-related development during
  this last cycle, not all of it is coming through this tree, as this
  cycle saw a shift toward tackling early boot time seeding issues,
  which took place in other trees as well.

  Here's a summary of the various patches:

   - The CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM .config option and the "nordrand" boot
     option have been removed, as they overlapped with the more widely
     supported and more sensible options, CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU and
     "random.trust_cpu". This change allowed simplifying a bit of arch
     code.

   - x86's RDRAND boot time test has been made a bit more robust, with
     RDRAND disabled if it's clearly producing bogus results. This would
     be a tip.git commit, technically, but I took it through random.git
     to avoid a large merge conflict.

   - The RNG has long since mixed in a timestamp very early in boot, on
     the premise that a computer that does the same things, but does so
     starting at different points in wall time, could be made to still
     produce a different RNG state. Unfortunately, the clock isn't set
     early in boot on all systems, so now we mix in that timestamp when
     the time is actually set.

   - User Mode Linux now uses the host OS's getrandom() syscall to
     generate a bootloader RNG seed and later on treats getrandom() as
     the platform's RDRAND-like faculty.

   - The arch_get_random_{seed_,}_long() family of functions is now
     arch_get_random_{seed_,}_longs(), which enables certain platforms,
     such as s390, to exploit considerable performance advantages from
     requesting multiple CPU random numbers at once, while at the same
     time compiling down to the same code as before on platforms like
     x86.

   - A small cleanup changing a cmpxchg() into a try_cmpxchg(), from
     Uros.

   - A comment spelling fix"
