mm/damon: replace damon_rand() with a per-ctx lockless PRNG
damon_rand() on the sampling_addr hot path called get_random_u32_below(), which takes a local_lock_irqsave() around a per-CPU batched entropy pool and periodically refills it with ChaCha20. At elevated nr_regions counts (20k+), the lock_acquire / local_lock pair plus __get_random_u32_below() dominate kdamond perf profiles. Replace the helper with a lockless lfsr113 generator (struct rnd_state) held per damon_ctx and seeded from get_random_u64() in damon_new_ctx(). kdamond is the single consumer of a given ctx, so no synchronization is required. Range mapping uses traditional reciprocal multiplication, similar as get_random_u32_below(); for spans larger than U32_MAX (only reachable on 64-bit) the slow path combines two u32 outputs and uses mul_u64_u64_shr() at 64-bit width. On 32-bit the slow path is dead code and gets eliminated by the compiler. The new helper takes a ctx parameter; damon_split_regions_of() and the kunit tests that call it directly are updated accordingly. lfsr113 is a linear PRNG and MUST NOT be used for anything security-sensitive. DAMON's sampling_addr is not exposed to userspace and is only consumed as a probe point for PTE accessed-bit sampling, so a non-cryptographic PRNG is appropriate here. Tested with paddr monitoring and max_nr_regions=20000: kdamond CPU usage reduced from ~72% to ~50% of one core.
