[PATCH v3 06/33] radix tree test suite: Make runs more reproducible

Matthew Wilcox

From: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org>

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.
