Uladzislau Rezki (Sony) 5e21f2d577 lib/test_vmalloc: switch to prandom_u32()
A get_random_bytes() function can cause a high contention if it is called
across CPUs simultaneously.  Because it shares one lock per all CPUs:

<snip>

Switch from the get_random_bytes() to prandom_u32() that does not have any
internal contention when a random value is needed for the tests.

The reason is to minimize CPU cycles introduced by the test-suite itself
from the vmalloc performance metrics.
