[PATCH 3/5] Replace invocation of weak PRNG in mm/slab.c

[david.keisarschm@mail.huji.ac.il]

From: David <david.keisarschm@mail.huji.ac.il>

We changed the invocation of
prandom_u32_state to get_random_u32.
 We also changed the freelist_init_state
to struct instead of a union,
since the rnd_state is not needed anymore -
 get_random_u32 maintains its own state.
