radix tree test suite: make runs more reproducible
Instead of reseeding the random number generator every time around the loop in big_gang_check(), seed it at the beginning of execution. Use rand_r() and an independent base seed for each thread in iteration_test() so they don't stomp all over each others state. Since this particular test depends on the kernel scheduler, the iteration test can't be reproduced based purely on the random seed, but at least it won't pollute the other tests. Print the seed, and allow the seed to be specified so that a run which hits a problem can be reproduced.
