[PATCH 1/9] random32: introduce random32_get_bytes() and prandom32_get_bytes()

[Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com>]

Add functions to get the requested number of pseudo-random bytes.

The difference from get_random_bytes() is that it uses pseudo-random
numbers generated by random32.  It is fast, suitable for generating
random bytes for testing, and reproducible if prandom32 interface is used.
