ext4: use prandom_u32() instead of get_random_bytes()
Many of the uses of get_random_bytes() do not actually need cryptographically secure random numbers. Replace those uses with a call to prandom_u32(), which is faster and which doesn't consume entropy from the /dev/random driver. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
