Subject: [PATCH 3/4] kselftest_module.h: add struct rnd_state and seed parameter

Some test suites make use of random numbers to increase the test
coverage when the test suite gets run on different machines and
increase the chance of some corner case bug being discovered - and I'm
planning on extending some existing ones in that direction as
well. However, should a bug be found this way, it's important that the
exact same series of tests can be repeated to verify the bug is
fixed. That means the random numbers must be obtained
deterministically from a generator private to the test module.

To avoid adding boilerplate to various test modules, put some logic
into kselftest_module.h: If the module declares that it will use
random numbers, add a "seed" module parameter. If not explicitly given
when the module is loaded (or via kernel command line), obtain a
random one. In either case, print the seed used, and repeat that
information if there was at least one test failing.
