Subject: [patch 20/38] kasan: sw_tags: Replace get_cycles() by random_get_entropy()

From: Thomas Gleixner <[email-masked]>

Seeding the random state with get_cycles() is functionally equivalent on
the architectures which provide get_cycles(), but it does not make sense
semantically.

Use random_get_entropy() instead, which is the proper interface.

This is part of a larger effort to remove get_cycles() usage from
non-architecture code.
