commit c440408cf6901eeb2c09563397e24a9097907078 upstream.

Many times, when a user wants a random number, he wants a random number
of a guaranteed size. So, thinking of get_random_int and get_random_long
in terms of get_random_u32 and get_random_u64 makes it much easier to
achieve this. It also makes the code simpler.

On 32-bit platforms, get_random_int and get_random_long are both aliased
to get_random_u32. On 64-bit platforms, int->u32 and long->u64.

What bug is this fixing that it needs to be in a stable kernel tree?
The end result is the same before and after this patch, right?

thanks,
