kernel - Update random number generator

* Update the random number generator with recommended changes to IBAA.
  This addresses a short-cycle problem and prevents bad initial states.

* Passes diehard (as did the original).

* Note that DragonFly continuously injects entropy and was likely not
  subject to these issues, and with these changes is even less so.
