[v2,00/19] random: Resolve circular include dependency and include <linux/percpu.h>

Message

There were several attempts to resolve circular include dependency
after the addition of percpu.h: 1c9df907da83 ("random: fix circular
include dependency on arm64 after addition of percpu.h"), c0842fbc1b18
("random32: move the pseudo-random 32-bit definitions to prandom.h") and
finally d9f29deb7fe8 ("prandom: Remove unused include") that completely
removes the inclusion of <linux/percpu.h>.

Due to legacy reasons, <linux/random.h> includes <linux/prandom.h>, but
with the commit entry remark:

--quote--
A further cleanup step would be to remove this from <linux/random.h>
entirely, and make people who use the prandom infrastructure include
just the new header file.  That's a bit of a churn patch, but grepping
for "prandom_" and "next_pseudo_random32" "struct rnd_state" should
catch most users.

But it turns out that that nice cleanup step is fairly painful, because
a _lot_ of code currently seems to depend on the implicit include of
<linux/random.h>, which can currently come in a lot of ways, including
such fairly core headfers as <linux/net.h>.

So the "nice cleanup" part may or may never happen.
--/quote--

We would like to include <linux/percpu.h> in <linux/prandom.h>.
In [1] we would like to repurpose __percpu tag as a named address space
qualifier, where __percpu macro uses defines from <linux/percpu.h>.

The major roadblock to inclusion of <linux/percpu.h> is the above
mentioned legacy inclusion of <linux/prandom.h> in <linux/random.h> that
causes circular include dependency that prevents <linux/percpu.h>
inclusion.

This patch series is the "nice cleanup" part that:

a) Substitutes the inclusion of <linux/random.h> with the
inclusion of <linux/prandom.h> where needed (patches 1 - 17).

b) Removes legacy inclusion of <linux/prandom.h> from
<linux/random.h> (patch 18).

c) Includes <linux/percpu.h> in <linux/prandom.h> (patch 19).

The whole series was tested by compiling the kernel for x86_64 allconfig
and some popular architectures, namely arm64 defconfig, powerpc defconfig
and loongarch defconfig.
