Subject: [PATCH] srandom: Replace accessing /dev/random by equivalent
 getentropy call

/dev/random calls getentropy.  So there's no good reason to go out of
our way to open /dev/random just to call getentropy anyway.

	* random.cc (srandomdev): Drop opening /dev/random in favor of
	calling getentropy.
