Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/3] bpf: allow bpf_get_prandom_u32() to be used in tracing

bpf_get_prandom_u32() was initially introduced for socket filters
and later requested numberous times to be added to tracing bpf programs
for the same reason as in socket filters: to be able to randomly
select incoming events.
