Rather than incurring a division or requesting too many random bytes for
the given range, use the prandom_u32_max() function, which only takes
the minimum required bytes from the RNG and avoids divisions.
I actually meant splitting the by-hand stuff by subsystem, but nearly
all of these can be done mechanically too, so it shouldn't be bad. Notes

Okay, that one is too much for me -- checking that group is never used
after the assignment removal is likely possible, but beyond my cocci
know-how. :)

Yup, agrees with Cocci on these.
