Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] rcu: Fix sign bug making rcu_random always return the
 same sequence

rcu_random uses a counter rrs_count to occasionally mix data from
get_random_bytes into the state of its pseudorandom generator.  However,
the rrs_counter gets declared as an unsigned long, and rcu_random checks
for --rrs_count < 0, so this code will never mix any real random data into
the state, and will thus always return the same sequence of random numbers.

Also, change the return value of rcu_random from long to unsigned long, to
avoid potential issues caused by the use of the % operator, which can
return negative values for negative left operands.
