[PATCH v3 2/5] random: defer seeding to EAL init

[David Marchand <david.marchand@redhat.com>]

The RNG is documented as being seeded as part of EAL init.

Move the initialisation (seeding) helper out of a constructor and
call it explicitly from rte_eal_init() as it was done before commit
3f002f069612 ("eal: replace libc-based random generation with LFSR").

This also moves the unconditional lcore variable allocation out of a
constructor.

While at it, mark local symbol rand_state as static.

Fixes: 29c39cd3d54d ("random: keep PRNG state in lcore variable")
