kfence: use better stack hash seed

Browse Source 
As of the prior commit, the RNG will have incorporated both a cycle
counter value and RDRAND, in addition to various other environmental
noise. Therefore, using get_random_u32() will supply a stronger seed
than simply using random_get_entropy(). N.B.: random_get_entropy()
should be considered an internal API of random.c and not generally
consumed.
