Many functions have open coded a function that returns a random
number in range [0,N-1]. Under the assumption that we have a PRNG
such as taus113 with being well distributed in [0, ~0U] space,
we can implement such a function as uword t = (n*m')&gt;&gt;32, where
m' is a random number obtained from PRNG, n the right open interval
border and t our resulting random number, with n,m',t in u32 universe.

Lets go with Joe and simply call it prandom_u32_max(), although
technically we have an right open interval endpoint, but that we
have documented. Other users can further be migrated to the new
prandom_u32_max() function later on; for now, we need to make sure
to migrate reciprocal_divide() users for the reciprocal_divide()
follow-up fixup since their function signatures are going to change.

Joint work with Hannes Frederic Sowa.

<title>team: check return value of team_get_port_by_index_rcu() for NULL</title>

team_get_port_by_index_rcu() might return NULL due to race between port
removal and skb tx path. Panic is easily triggeable when txing packets
and adding/removing port in a loop.

introduced by commit 3d249d4ca "net: introduce ethernet teaming device"
and commit 753f993911b "team: introduce random mode" (for random mode)

Use preferable function name which implies using a pseudo-random number
generator.

As suggested by Eric Dumazet, allow user to select mode which chooses
TX port randomly. Functionality should be more of less similar to
round-robin mode with even lower overhead.
