ext2/3: use prandom_u32() instead of get_random_bytes()
Many of the uses of get_random_bytes() do not actually need cryptographically secure random numbers. Replace those uses with a call to prandom_u32(), which is faster and which doesn't consume entropy from the /dev/random driver. The commit dd1f723bf56bd96efc9d90e9e60dc511c79de48f has made that for ext4, and i did the same for ext2/3.
