Strange, not all compilers do this warning. Fixing with:

#if BITS_PER_LONG == 64

       if (arch_get_random_int(&ret))

Const, because it's more correct. READ_ONCE to be certain that the
compiler doesn't try to paste the expression into both uses. And
finally flags=0 to shutup the compiler.

If anybody has a better way of approaching this, feel free to chime in.
