Using prandom_u32() to get random offsets might expose fraction
of its internal state to userspace;

To prevent leaking prandom_u32() state, get_random_u32() could be
used instead, but with greater cost.

But it would be a big waste to call get_random_u32() to retrieve
only 4bits to 8bits at a time.

Instead this patch makes use of get_random_u64() to seed once a
local PRNG.

The local PRNG can be used safely to produces the random offsets,
exposing its internal state won't harm.
