Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Low] Missing `<time.h>` inclusion causes an implicit function declaration of `time()`.

KVM: selftests: Seed libc's RNG before using it to generate a seed for KVM's pRNG

This commit updates the KVM selftests initialization to seed the RNG used
by random() with the current time. This ensures a different seed is used
in each test run instead of using the same static seed.

[Severity: Low]
Does this file need to explicitly include <time.h>?

While it might compile cleanly on standard glibc environments due to
transitive inclusions, using time() without explicitly including <time.h>
can cause an implicit function declaration warning or error on stricter
build environments like musl.
