Theodore Ts'o 031987b6be random: use lockless method of accessing and updating f->reg_idx ...

commit 92e75428ff upstream.

Linus pointed out that there is a much more efficient way of avoiding
the problem that we were trying to address in commit 9dfa7bba35:
"fix race in drivers/char/random.c:get_reg()".
