    random32: rename random32 to prandom

    This renames all random32 functions to have 'prandom_' prefix as follows:

      void prandom_seed(u32 seed);      /* rename from srandom32() */
      u32 prandom_u32(void);            /* rename from random32() */
      void prandom_seed_state(struct rnd_state *state, u64 seed);
                                /* rename from prandom32_seed() */
      u32 prandom_u32_state(struct rnd_state *state);
                                /* rename from prandom32() */

    The purpose of this renaming is to prevent some kernel developers from
    assuming that prandom32() and random32() might imply that only
    prandom32() was the one using a pseudo-random number generator by
    prandom32's "p", and the result may be a very embarassing security
    exposure.  This concern was expressed by Theodore Ts'o.

    And furthermore, I'm going to introduce new functions for getting the
    requested number of pseudo-random bytes.  If I continue to use both
    prandom32 and random32 prefixes for these functions, the confusion
    is getting worse.

    As a result of this renaming, "prandom_" is the common prefix for
    pseudo-random number library.

    Currently, srandom32() and random32() are preserved because it is
    difficult to rename too many users at once.
