[PATCH REPOST for 2.6.25] Use an own random generator for pageattr-test.c

[Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org>]

Use an own random generator for pageattr-test.c

[Repost. Please ack/nack. This is a bug fix and imho a .25 late merge 
candidate because it fixes a subtle bug]

pageattr-test attempts to be repeatable and uses srandom32 to get a 
repeatable random number sequence.

Using srandom32() wasn't a good idea for various reasons:
- it is per cpu and if the cpu changes on a preemptible kernel it gets lost
- networking and random32 puts in some own state
- srandom32() does not actually reset the state, but just adds bits to 
it

Instead use a very simple private standard rnd that gives repeatable
results. I took the reference rand() from ISO-C.
