SUNRPC: NFS_ROOT always uses the same XIDs
The XID generator uses get_random_bytes to generate an initial XID. NFS_ROOT starts up before the random driver, though, so get_random_bytes doesn't set a random XID for NFS_ROOT. This causes NFS_ROOT mount points to reuse XIDs every time the client is booted. If the client boots often enough, the server will start serving old replies out of its DRC. Use net_random() instead. Test plan: I/O intensive workloads should perform well and generate no errors. Traces taken during client reboots should show that NFS_ROOT mounts use unique XIDs after every reboot.
