dm table: clear add_random unless all devices have it set
Always clear QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM if any underlying device does not have it set. Otherwise devices with predictable characteristics may contribute entropy. QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM specifies whether or not queue IO timings contribute to the random pool. For bio-based targets this flag is always 0 because such devices have no real queue. For request-based devices this flag was always set to 1 by default. Now set it according to the flags on underlying devices. If there is at least one device which should not contribute, set the flag to zero: If a device, such as fast SSD storage, is not suitable for supplying entropy, a request-based queue stacked over it will not be either. Because the checking logic is exactly same as for the rotational flag, share the iteration function with device_is_nonrot().
