Revert "netfilter: avoid get_random_bytes calls"
This reverts commit a42b99a6e329654d376b330de057eff87686d890. Hannes Frederic Sowa reported some problems with this patch, more specifically that prandom_u32() may not be ready at boot time, see: http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=138896532403533&w=2 Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
