    random32: move rnd_state to linux/random.h · 38e9efcd
    Daniel Borkmann authored
    struct rnd_state got mistakenly pulled into uapi header. It is not
    used anywhere and does also not belong there!
    
    Commit 5960164f
    
     ("lib/random32: export pseudo-random number
    generator for modules"), the last commit on rnd_state before it
    got moved to uapi, says:
    
      This patch moves the definition of struct rnd_state and the inline
      __seed() function to linux/random.h.  It renames the static __random32()
      function to prandom32() and exports it for use in modules.
    
    Hence, the structure was moved from lib/random32.c to linux/random.h
    so that it can be used within modules (FCoE-related code in this
    case), but not from user space. However, it seems to have been
    mistakenly moved to uapi header through the uapi script. Since no-one
    should make use of it from the linux headers, move the structure back
    to the kernel for internal use, so that it can be modified on demand.
    
    Joint work with Hannes Frederic Sowa.
